City says High Level wildfire serves as reminder to always be prepared
As a large wildfire burning in northern Alberta has forced the evacuation of the Town of High Level, the City of Red Deer says it’s not yet planning to send in help.
Karen Mann, Emergency Management Coordinator with the City of Red Deer says the province has yet to request any supports from municipalities in central Alberta.
“We remain in contact with the province and if a request were to come through, we would consider that request,” says Mann. “But at this time, we haven’t been requested to support anything in relation to fire evacuations with High Level.”
