In a news conference Wednesday evening, Minister Shane Thompson announced a city-wide evacuation order due to an approaching wildfire. The evacuation would involve a "phased approach," with people from areas of the city already under alert (Kam Lake, Grace Lake, Engle industrial area) heading out Wednesday night, alongside people in Dettah and those along the Ingraham Trail. Fire information officer Mike Westwick said fire could reach the Ingraham trail by Friday.

"The fire now represents a real threat to the city," Thompson said, adding it could reach the outskirts of the city by the weekend. The fire was about 17 kilometres from the city on Wednesday, he said.

On a personal note. My In-Laws left this afternoon and are currently on the Highway. They are hoping to make High Level for tonight. No Hotels unfortunately. They are coming to stay with us.
