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.

Trudeau was taken around Fort McMurray by fire officials after a helicopter fly-over of the region, which has been evacuated by 88,000 people.

The still-raging blaze has torn its way through 241,000 hectares (596,000 acres) of woodland and towns in Alberta and continues to grow, albeit at a slower rate.

The fire is likely to cost insurers upwards of C$6billion ($4.7billion), but Trudeau promised that the federal government would pour money into rebuilding Fort McMurray and other affected towns.
