Update:

Current situation
The fire remains out of control. It is estimated to cover 251,000 hectares.
In order to reduce fuel buildup and prevent the spread of wildfires, fire operations in the form of a back burn are occurring along the west side of Highway 63. This is happening about 50 kilometres north of Mariana Lake to the Highway 881/63 junction.
There were nine new fire starts over the past 24 hours. A total of 15 wildfires are burning, with two out of control.
There are 2,277 firefighters, 147 helicopters, 280 pieces of heavy equipment and 29 air tankers currently battling the fires.
ATCO has about 300 workers in Fort McMurray, including teams of water specialists working with the municipality’s water experts to assess damage.
Fort McMurray, Anzac, Gregoire Lake Estates and Fort McMurray First Nation remain under a mandatory evacuation order. Fort McKay First Nation is under a recommended evacuation order.

Update on plans for re-entry

The 2016 Wildfire Recovery Task Force is meeting regularly to plan re-entry into affected communities.
We expect to be able to share the re-entry plan within 10 days, and the plan will answer most questions about timing.
Five things need to be in place for re-entry:
Wildfire is no longer an imminent threat to the community
Critical infrastructure is repaired to provide basic service
Essential services, such as fire, EMS, police and health care are restored to a basic level
Hazardous areas are secure. There are 100 truckloads of fencing being sent to Fort McMurray.
Local government is re-established

Yeah we are a long way off still.
