By Nia Williams CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Firefighters were preparing to tackle hot weather and gusting winds on Wednesday as they battled a massive wildfire raging near Fort McMurray, Alberta, that threatens oil sands facilities and work camps north of the city. It destroyed a 665-room lodge for oil sand workers, then blazed east toward other camps. The wildfire is taking a toll on Alberta's economy, with one study estimating lost oil production to cut gross domestic product (GDP) by more than C$70 million ($54.1 million) a day.
