EDMONTON — Crews continue to snuff out flareups and seek out hot spots in Fort McMurray while inspectors move in to assess damage to homes and businesses.
Municipal Affairs Minister Danielle Larivee says focus is shifting in the northern Alberta community to stabilization and recovery, but there is still no fixed date for a return.
Larivee says key goals are making sure the fire is completely out in the city, restoring utilities and ensuring the hospital is functional.
The military is leaving the area, but will remain on high alert throughout the summer.
Fire official Chad Morrison says cooler weather is helping crews battle the 2,400-square kilometre blaze.
But temperatures are expected to rise again this weekend.
