Thousands allowed back home, but officials say wildfires still leaving many displaced
People in parts of Alberta and British Columbia are returning home after wildfire evacuation orders were lifted Thursday.
An evacuation order was also lifted for the town of Edson, Alta., and surrounding area, allowing more than 8,000 to return. A statement on Edson’s website says residents should remain ready to leave with four hours’ notice, and an evacuation alert status will remain in place. Blair says rain and cooler weather have helped improve the fire situation significantly in the Maritimes and parts of Quebec, but that’s not the case everywhere.
