Summary
A massive wildfire in Albertas foothills near Sundre is forcing evacuations and road closures, with crews battling the flames amid brutal winds. The fire, now the biggest in the province, has sparked a ten-kilometer evacuation alert. Local residents and visitors are feeling the heat, with cabin owners reporting guests canceling due to thick smoke and visible flames. However, cooler temperatures and calmer winds have given crews an edge, with helicopters, heavy equipment, and water bombers scooping from lakes. Meanwhile, evacuees from another fire near Whitecourt are heading home as that blaze is now under control. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
