Alberta First Nation evacuees return home but are warned wildfire season far from over

BIGSTONE CREE NATION — Residents are continuing to return home after an evacuation was ordered for the northern Alberta hamlet of Wabasca and the Bigstone Cree Nation (BCN) but officials are warning people to be ready to leave again on short notice.

Dozens of wildfires are burning across Alberta and officials are issuing evacuation notices for several oil installations in northern parts of the province.

The Municipal District of Opportunity issued a local state of emergency when an out of control wildfire south of the area posed a threat to the community starting last Saturday.
