Official: Wildfire Fight "May Be Turning A Corner"
JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: The frantic effort to contain this wildfire in Fort McMurray in Canada. An emergency official says they may be turning a corner in this battle right now thanks to the hard work of the fire crews and some help from cooler, more humid conditions. CNN's Paul Vercammen live for us now from the fire zone in Edmonton. Paul, what's going on there?</s>PAUL VERCAMMEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, on cue, John, it is really cooling off. You can tell it's just slightly damp here, starting to drizzle. That should really help out, because actually there's 34 fires burning in all of Alberta. You've got 1,500 firefighters on the line trying to knock down those blazes. So far they've burned 400,000 acres. You also have 1,600 structures damped, almost all of them in Fort McMurray. That's the oil sands capital in Alberta. Now, where's the fire burning towards? The Saskatchewan border but that's forest. That's good news. They are focused on defending property and people and so far so good. As we've been pointing out this weather, this dampness is going to help. Those firefighters have got to be tired. Officials say they need to get a lot of them rotated and off the line and help is on the way. More firefighters going to arrive here in Alberta from Quebec and New Brunswick. There is already firefighters on the ground from Ontario. All of this should help out, more firefighters and damp, cool weather as we go forward, and this fire has slowed down -- Chris.</s>CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: Slowed down. Not nearly enough.
