Hot, dry conditions and gusty winds have led to what fire watchers call a red-flag warning across northern Alberta’s forest as more people were forced from their homes.
Mandatory evacuation orders were issued late Wednesday for the Hamlet of Wabasca and the Bigstone Cree Nation in the Slave Lake forest area.
People were urged to gather at the community of Calling Lake.
Further north, the Chuckegg Creek fire, the largest in the province, was still about three kilometres southwest of High Level, where crews have created a firebreak to protect the community.
