A wildfire near Fort McMurray, Alta., more than tripled in size overnight — but fire officials are hopeful it won't spread as much Sunday, nor approach the northern Alberta city.
The fire, burning about 16 kilometres southwest of the city, covered about 5,500 hectares as of 10:45 a.m. MT Sunday, according to the Alberta Wildfire status dashboard. On Saturday morning, it was about 1,500 hectares in size.
