I think the bigger risk that is driving the evacuations is encirclement. The last Edson evac they were down ti the highway to Hinton to get out of town with fire threatening to cross if things went wrong.
So we aren’t really close to a BC lose a town yet but if things got bad you don’t have the resources to helicopter thousands out.
It could get there though which is why people need to evacuate. Military reserves have been mobilized in at least some areas.
