The massive blaze near Prince Albert. (Derek Provost/Submitted) High winds continue to challenge crews battling the Cloverdale wildfire northeast of Prince Albert, but a change in the weather is being welcomed by emergency personnel. The fire is still uncontained. Meanwhile, SaskPower crews have been cleared to enter the area to start restoring power to 8,000 homes north of P.A. that have been in the dark since Monday. “We will be able to make much more progress today with the cooler weather,” Steve Roberts, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency’s vice-president of operations, told reporters midday Wednesday. Roberts said the fire had expanded from around 3,700 hectares or 40 square kilometres reported Tuesday, but the growth was “not substantive.”
