Community officials say as well as the surrounding areas of Mackenzie County and several Dene ThaB次元官网网址� First Nation communities will be allowed to return home on Monday.
The announcement was made on the Town of High LevelB次元官网网址檚 Facebook page today, and was accompanied by a video with municipal leaders from the town, county and First Nation, along with Premier Jason Kenney.
High Level Mayor Crystal McAteer says in the video that while the mandatory evacuation order that has been in place for two weeks will be lifted, an evacuation alert will remain in place.
She says that means residents should be ready to leave again at short notice if the fire threat returns.
The Chuckegg Creek fire, which has been threatening the area and is the largest wildfire in the province, is close to 2,800 square kilometres in size and remains out of control.
More coming.
