Alberta wildfires trigger fire restrictions
Jul 10, 2024 2:26 PM

July 9 (Reuters) - Wildfires raging in the Canadian

province of Alberta triggered fire restrictions in two forest

areas, the province's wildfire agency said on Tuesday.

Fire restrictions were in effect for the High Level Forest

Area and entire Fort McMurray forest area, where wildfire danger

was extreme, Alberta's wildfire agency said. Fire restrictions

limit when and where people can light campfires and bonfires.

Meanwhile, the Fort Nelson First Nation ordered an immediate

evacuation for the IR#3 Kahntah Reserve, British Columbia

authorities said.

"Anyone in the affected area must leave immediately," they

said in the statement.

"Currently there is one evacuation order due to wildfire in

British Columbia issued by Fort Nelson First Nation and no

properties are impacted," the British Columbia's Ministry of

Emergency Management and Climate Readiness said in an email.

Alberta's wildfire agency said that as of Tuesday afternoon,

there were 34 wildfires burning in the High Level forest area

with 10 of them out of control, while one that was classified as

out of control in Fort McMurray forest area, about eight km

(five miles) northeast of industrial facilities.

Last week Suncor, Canada's second-largest oil

company, temporarily curtailed some production and evacuated

non-essential workers from its 215,000-barrel-per-day (bpd)

Firebag site because of a fire roughly eight km (five miles)

away.

There are close to 60 active wildfires across Alberta.
