Evacuation Order: Abasand, Beacon Hill, Prairie Creek and Grayling Terrace move to evacuation order; be prepared to be evacuated by 4 p.m.
If you are not in an area under Evacuation Order, please remain in place until these other communities evacuate first, to facilitate a safe evacuation.
Evacuees should register online. Those in need of accommodation or support should report to the Parkland Two registration centre in Lac La Biche. Evacuees are encouraged to leave Fort McMurray, but may remain in other neighbourhoods if they wish.
An Evacuation Order has been issued for Abasand, Beacon Hill, Prairie Creek and Grayling Terrace due to the MWF-017 wildfire. If you are in this area, you must leave by 4 p.m. while following signs, designated evacuation routes and instructions from emergency responders.
