Alberta wildfires: Three new evacuation orders, more than 19,000 evacuees and no peak in sight abfire
Evacuees have been sent to nine reception centres. Most — about 15,000 — have registered since evacuating, which officials say will make it easier for them to access support and resources.
“Overall, our firefighters were able to hold their ground,” she said. “However, they will be challenged again today.”“From what we can tell from the conditions that are awaiting us, with hot and dry weather persisting, we are going to continue to be challenged. So we haven’t seen a peak yet. Conditions will remain hot and dry and windy in the coming days, so we’re expecting more challenging conditions as we progress in this heat event.
Blair urged Albertans to prepare emergency kits with medication, ID, pet supplies, cash, non-perishable food and other items should the need to evacuate arise. He also stressed the importance of respecting the fire ban and off-road vehicle ban.
