  Devastation: Prime Minister Trudeau praised emergency officials for their 'valor and courage' in preserving much of Fort McMurray
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has vowed to rebuild a town that has been ravaged by the wildfires in Alberta as he toured entire neighborhoods leveled by the out-of-control inferno.




 Entire neighborhoods have been destroyed by the wildfires which are still out of control in Fort McMurray and other parts of Alberta

 Families have been evacuated from the area, with 88,000 moved to temporary accommodation. Some will not have a home to come back to

 Ottawa runs a fund to help provinces recover from disasters and could end up paying 90 per cent of all eligible costs. Trudeau said the government would try to ensure the money was paid out more quickly than usual
 Local officials say it will be 10 days before they can even produce a plan for resettlement as a number of small fires are still erupting

 Trudeau initially stressed he did not want his visit to Alberta to interfere with firefighting efforts, which are still very much ongoing
