Some Evacuation Orders Lifted In Canada’s Scorched Oil Lands

Authorities in Canada's wildfire-ravaged energy heartland have lifted evacuation orders on Suncor Energy Inc. and Syncrude oil sites after rain and cold weather helped dampen the flames.

Municipal authorities in the oil town of Fort McMurray lifted the mandatory evacuation orders on Suncor's base plant and Syncrude's Mildred Lake facility, as well as nearby camps that house oil workers, late on Friday.
