What changes the outlook

A later assessment showing the fire remains uncontrolled could prolong restrictions.
Pressure eases if…
Continued containment by crews would reduce the immediate need for evacuation measures.
Further official updates confirming stable conditions could clarify whether remaining alerts or restrictions can be lifted.
Still unclear
