Continued hot and dry conditions lead to more wildfire activity over the weekend, and more communities getting evacuated.
Little Red River Cree Nation expanded its evacuation order to include the communities of John D’or Prairie and Fox Lake.
The nation told residents to go to the travel centre at 12 mile to register as evacuees and for help with accommodations.
Residents of the nation’s Garden River community have been evacuated since July 10.
Several evacuees from Garden River have been staying in the Peace River and High Level areas.
The evacuations are the result of the Semo Complex Fire continuing to grow.
It is classified as out of control at more than 96,000 hectares in size, and is now approximately 2.2 kilometres from highway 58.
The increased fire activity has lead to more air quality issues from wildfire smoke.
People may want to limit their outdoor activities right now.
