May 15, 2024 | 3:43 PM

Thanks to the current weather conditions and a surplus of resources available, the County of Grande Prairie expects the Teepee Creek wildfire to not grow past the boundary.

As a result, the County has replaced the evacuation order for Township Road 741 to half a mile north of Township Road 734 area, as well as Range Road 32 to Smokey River to an evacuation alert.

Residents residing in the evacuation alert zone are asked to be prepared to leave in one hour if conditions change.

The County also wants residents to be aware that all previous evacuation alert’s in place, have also been removed.
