Evacuation order lifted for Peerless Trout First Nation

Jun 21, 2019 | 5:32 PM

An evacuation order of the Peerless Trout First Nation has been cancelled.

It was issued Tuesday for Trout Lake and high-risk people in Peerless Lake.

The McMillan Complex wildfires have burned over 276,000 hectares.

Fire watchers say the Slave Lake Forest Area got some rain that they say was badly needed and the wildfire hazard is now rated low to moderate.
