    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “A little bit of rain does not mean it is safe to come back to Yellowknife, Ndilǫ, Dettah or the Ingraham Trail,” the fire agency wrote.

    Speaking to CBC Radio’s Piya Chattopadhyay Saturday afternoon, Yellowknife Mayor Rebecca Alty asked residents to remain out of the city until they’re notified it’s safe to return.

    People driving out of the city Saturday can gas up at the Big River Service Centre in Fort Providence or in High Level, Alta.

    She said the wildfire northwest of the city has been moving slower than forecasted, with good conditions for water bombers to fly.

    Crews have cleared roughly 150 hectares of forest (1.5 square kilometres) for the fire breaks around the city, she added.

    Staff will keep operating those facilities “as long as it is safe to do so,” the power corporation said, adding Jackfish has enough fuel to keep going for an “extended” period.
