Hundreds of people were forced to flee Chateh, a community that is part of the First Nation, earlier this week as a blaze approached. Roughly 2,500 people are fighting the fires throughout Alberta and 24 of 87 active wildfires were considered out of control as of midday Tuesday. Mayor Sandy Ericson posted on social media that poor air quality due to the smoke and the loss of electricity made it unsafe to stay.
