"Even though we've had cooler weather, we've not seen significant rain on the fire yet at this time." Unfortunately, it wasn't the same story in the Fort McMurray area. Mandatory evacuations remain in place for Fort McMurray and most surrounding areas but work continues to try to get the city livable again. "Even though we've had cooler weather, we've not seen significant rain on the fire yet at this time," said Alberta Wildfire Manager, Chad Morrison during a Friday morning update from the province. Still, officials said the current weather is helping in the battle against the massive 500,000 hectare fire.
