A store closure sign is displayed on the door of a Shell gas station in Fort McMurray.

Most of Fort McMurray is not under an evacuation order, but wildfire burning near the community has prompted many businesses in the region to temporarily close or reduce operations.

"I do think a fair number of people in the non-evacuated area left and a lot of this is just based on the experience in 2016," she said. The wildfire disruptions will hurt businesses during a time when they are already struggling with inflation, he said. In the meantime, he said, he has been busy helping with emergency food and shelter initiatives in town.

Mohamed Tarrabin says Prestige Jewellers reopened on Thursday morning but no customers visited the store.
