The residents of Fort McMurray are trickling back into the abandoned city they had to flee a month ago. Many were greeted by grim ashes of homes, vehicles and other belongings. Premier Notley was in the city, at Fire Station 5, to talk about the first day of the re-entry plan. “Today begins a journey more than a month in the making,” she said. “This journey is possible because of incredibly brave and dedicated first-responders who were able to save so much of this city, from one of the most destructive wildfires Alberta, and indeed Canada, has ever seen.”
