A fire has broken out at the Horizon oilsands site near Fort McKay in northern Alberta, officials with Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., which owns the site, confirmed.
The fire was set off by an explosion around 3:30 p.m. MT Thursday. A contractor at the site said the blast shot flames and smoke hundreds of metres into the air.
"We heard a massive explosion rock the entire area," said the man, who did not want to be named.
"We thought it was in our unit. We ran out of the unit as quickly as we can. I looked up back up at the coker structure and it was completely engulfed in flames — a 480-foot <146-metre> tall structure completely engulfed in flames."

The company has accounted for all employees.
What about the others?
Let's wait and see!
