Monday, June 6, 2016, 10:43 AM - The fire that burned approximately 10 per cent of structures in Fort McMurray, Alta., and forced almost 90,000 residents to flee north and south last month, continues to rage out of control in the northern Prairies, but officials are closer to determining a cause of the devastating blaze.
Though not currently a threat to any major settlements, evacuees returning to the city this week may have their homecoming tainted with some bitter news: The fire that threatened their homes may have had a human cause.
That's according to comments made to the Globe and Mail by Alberta's senior wildfire manager, Chad Morrison, who said Saturday that though the fire remains under investigation, it was probably attributable to humans.
"Human-caused really means anything other than lightning. It’s most likely human caused, but we’re continuing to investigate,” Morrison told the newspaper.
Paul Spring, a helicopter pilot with experience fighting fire, seems to agree with Morrison, according to comments made to both the Globe and the Edmonton Journal. Spring told the newspapers the skies were clear the weekend the fire sparked, and no lightning was detected.
