Most of those still out of their homes because of wildfires in northern Alberta have been given the OK to return to their communities.

Evacuation orders were lifted for Bigstone Cree Nation and the hamlets of Wabasca-Desmarais, Sandy Lake and Chipewyan Lake.

However, about 700 people from the Paddle Prairie Metis Settlement, where homes were lost, are still under an evacuation order.

The fire danger in some areas remains extreme.
