Summary:
A wildfire southwest of Fort McMurray has shown no further growth according to wildfire crews, allowing them to continue working on fireguards overnight. The blaze has prompted the evacuation of four neighbourhoods, but residents have now been given the green light to return home. The fire is gradually being brought under control due to recent rainy weather, although it remains classified as out of control. It is expected to burn near the community for weeks to come. In British Columbia, fires continue to threaten Fort Nelson, leading to an evacuation order. However, a camp has been set up to support firefighting operations. Rumors of military involvement have been addressed, and evacuees from northwest Manitoba are also being allowed to return home. Efforts to battle the blaze near Cranberry Portage are ongoing, with additional firefighters arriving from other provinces to assist.
