People forced from their homes by a wildfire near Newfoundland and Labrador’s capital city have been cleared to return home.

Residents are still under an evacuation alert, which requires them to remain prepared to leave their homes again on a moment’s notice.

Meanwhile, in New Brunswick Natural Resources Minister John Herron says that province’s largest fire, in the Miramichi area, has grown to more than 14 square kilometres.

Eleven wildfires were burning across mainland Nova Scotia on Friday, including an out-of-control fire in Annapolis County that forced the evacuation of about 100 people.
