Trudeau to visit Edmonton, meet with CAF personnel assisting with wildfires
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to stop in Edmonton this morning to meet with Canadian Armed Forces personnel who are assisting Alberta in fighting ongoing wildfires.
Josee St-Onge of Alberta Wildfire says conditions in the south aren’t as extreme at the moment, but the province may need to reposition resources so it can be ready to respond quickly to new fires in the area. Officials say hot, dry and windy weather has pushed fire conditions even further into the extreme in the province’s north this weekend, and the situation in the south is now a growing concern.St-Onge says fire crews are already in the Rocky Mountain and Calgary forest areas in the south, but they could be bolstered with resources from the north, or even from outside the province, if fires break out and grow in the south.
The return to hot and dry conditions following a brief reprieve last week was expected, and St-Onge said there was a corresponding increase in fire activity. However, she said firefighters were able to hold their ground in most areas on Saturday.
