Wildfire erupts in Barrhead County, northwest of Edmonton, torching buildings in two neighborhoods near Thunder Lake—forcing an immediate evacuation and triggering a local state of emergency. Alberta Wildfire is stepping in despite jurisdictional boundaries, as thick black smoke and structural fires send residents fleeing east on Highway 18. Authorities urge all others to avoid the area, with a county-wide fire ban now in effect. This is a fast-moving, dangerous situation—stay tuned for updates.
