Canadian train crew engulfed by wildfire

The voices of nervous crew members driving a Canadian freight train through a wall of flames can be heard in this stunning eyewitness footage.  Reportedly shot near Armstrong in Northern Ontario, the video, posted by a member of the Provincial Parliament of Kiiwetinoong in Northwestern Ontario, shows the devastating scale of Canada's wildfire emergency.  Flames, some reaching as high as the treetops, engulf the moving train, while the crew radios for support.

Initial reports say the crew escaped safely, and authorities have not yet commented on the footage.

More than 800 wildfires are actively burning in the Canadian wilderness, spreading smoke across the country and far down into the eastern United States.
