I heard they have saved downtown Fort McMurray so far, but the utility infrastructure (water, electricity) is completely gone.
I remember I was staying in a forest lodge in Spearfish, South Dakota, in the Black Hills in 1988 when the fire took large parts of the Black Hills (and also Yellowstone etc.) during a drought. We even smelled the fire, but luckily it didn't get to the northern slope of the Black Hills... (it was the lodge of Mr. Meier who owned the Black Hills Passion Play, my classmate was related to him).
