Wildfire evacuation order over for hamlet of Evansburg in west-central Alberta
Officials have lifted an evacuation order for the hamlet of Evansburg, Alta., about 120 kilometres west of Edmonton.
Residents were told to leave on May 1 as dry and windy conditions fuelled wildfires that put the hamlet and surrounding rural area at risk.
Some nearby communities remain under a mandatory evacuation order, including Wildwood, Lobstick Resort and Hansonville.
Alberta’s wildfire status dashboard is reporting 76 active wildfires today, 26 of which are out of control.
