Alberta Wildfire officials say progress is being made on battling the Semo Complex Fire.
Firefighters, heavy equipment operators and helicopters with bucketing capabilities have been working along the southern perimeter of the fire.
The fire is still classified as out of control at more than 97,000 hectares in size, but recent rainfalls helped reduce fire activity and allowed crews to make good progress on suppressing the fire.
Structure Protection Units are continuing their work to maintain and test systems while preparing for re-entry of the communities.
Little Red River Cree First Nation has announced a tentative re-entry date of August 5.
The evacuation order remains in effect and residents should stay in place until the First Nation provides official notice the evacuation order has been canceled.
