Final Evacuation & Fire Progress Update | Edmonton News

Fort Simpson’s final evacuation bus departs Monday at noon from the Recreation Center—be there early if you need a ride. Fire crews are making critical progress thanks to cooler temps, with air tankers and controlled burns protecting key areas like the airstrip and community near the Snye River. Twenty new firefighters from B.C. are arriving today, boosting efforts as officials see hope on the horizon. While the immediate threat to the townsite is easing, residents won’t be able to return anytime soon—crews must ensure full safety before allowing anyone back home.
