The little yellow stars on the SK side are the current burning edges of this fire. It would be unlikely they circle back to town from here. I expect evac notices to be pulled back soon.

Trivia: Area burnt by this fire (so far): 51 thousand km2. The area of Nova Scotia is 55 thousand km2. I don't think people realize quite how large this fire was. Like, it's larger than some European countries (Slovakia is a good comparison).
That area will include a lot of cabins, small communities, traditional lands, and wilderness. The city being saved is a huge deal, but it's still going to impact a lot of people.
