May 30, 2019 | 11:24 AM

The Town of Slave Lake is now under an 8-hour Evacuation Alert, though the town says they are under no imminent danger.

The announcement came this morning, stating that due to the extremely dry conditions and unstable fire activity across the region, residents should be prepared to leave on short notice.

They say residents should have all medications and prescriptions in order, a supply of drinking water and food, as well as keeping your gas tank full. You should also have any important documents like birth certificates and passports ready to go.
