GRANDE PRAIRIE — Another 12 thousand residents in Mackenzie County have been placed on evacuation alert due to wildfires in the North Peace.
In a news release put out last night, the province says the residents, located both North and South of Peace River and west of Range Road 120, should start gathering belongings and be ready to leave on a moment’s notice.
They also updated the number of people already forced to leave their homes due to the fires, as that number has climbed over the 11 thousand mark.
