The evacuation order covering four communities in Fort McMurray lifted Saturday, thanks to a streak of rain, cooler temperatures, and work by crews to build defensive structures against an approaching wildfire.Roughly 6,000 people were ordered to evacuate on May 14, although many more left because they wanted to avoid a do-over of the chaotic 2016 evacuation. The evacuation alert also ended for the rest of Fort McMurray and surrounding communities, such as Fort McMurray First Nation and Anzac.
