Wildfire hazard slides down to moderate

The Wildfire hazard for the Fort McMurray area has decreased down to moderate.

But Environment and Sustainable Resource Development says with warmer temperatures and no rain in the immediate forecast, that could go back up.

There aren’t any wildfires burning in the region, which has seen 22 fires since the start of the season.

And there are still wildfires burning in the Northwest Territiories, which are causing smoky air throughout the municipality.
