A continuation of rain showers has helped lower fire activity in Alberta according to officials.

During the provincial update on Tuesday, Christie Tucker with Alberta Wildfire said, “Many of the major wildfires burning received some rain, which means these are good days for firefighters to make real progress.”

Thanks to the weather and the work of firefighters, officials have reclassified the fire burning Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation and Valleyview from out-of-control, to being held.

That means that the fire is "not expected to grow beyond the established boundaries under the current conditions,” according to Tucker.

There are currently 71 wildfires burning in the forest protection area of the province, 20 of which have been labeled out-of-control.
