Thousands of people in west-central Alberta evacuated more than one week ago won't be allowed to return for at least another week.
As of Friday morning, 73 wildfires were burning in Alberta's forest protection areas, including 20 that are out of control. That number does not include seven fires burning outside Alberta's forest protection areas.
Brazeau County is the latest Alberta community to warn residents that mandatory evacuation orders may stay in place for days or weeks longer due to the loss of critical infrastructure or the potential hazards posed by encroaching flames. "We are doing everything we can in terms of wildfire mitigation to try and get them back to their communities as quickly as we can."Alberta's public safety minister, along with officials from the Alberta Emergency Management Agency and Alberta Wildfire, will provide an update on wildfires in the province.
