Jun 18, 2019 | 6:46 AM

HIGH LEVEL- Residents of High Level are being told once again to be ready to leave the community due to the massive Chuckegg Creek wildfire.

The town says residents aren’t required to leave at the moment, but should gather documents, get food and water ready and fuel their vehicles in case a mandatory evacuation becomes necessary.

Close to 5000 people in High Level and surrounding communities were ordered to leave due to the Chuckegg Creek fire in May.

They remained out of their community for two weeks until they were finally allowed to return on June 2.

Meanwhile evacuation orders were issued overnight for people living in the northern Alberta hamlet of Le Crete and reserves in the High Level area.
