Narrative:

During vectors for ILS; I (PF) called for flaps 8 degrees. Upon selection to 8 degrees; a flaps fail caution appeared and the flaps failed at 0 degrees. We ran the QRH and received vectors. We conferred with dispatch and agreed to land at ZZZ. I elected to declare an emergency and we were vectored for a visual. I was surprised at ATC and the number of aircraft in front of us. The most surprising was tower departing an aircraft in front of us while we were inside of a 3 mi final. We landed uneventfully with gusty winds and equipment standing by. We did not have a lot of extra gas in this situation and I felt a little rushed because of this.
