Wildfires force evacuations near Christopher Lake
The area around Dochylo road in the Rural Municipality of Paddockwood has been evacuated. The order came into effect earlier tonight.
The Lakeland and District Fire Department said property owners in the area are being asked to register at the Lakeland Fire Hall in the Village of Christopher Lake.
Also on Tuesday, pre-evacuation alerts were issued for South Shore Estates, Sunnyside Grove, Keystone Park, Ambrose Trailer Park, Spruce Meadows, and all south areas of Emma Lake, Spruce Point, and Doran Park.
However later in the evening, as the situation improved, the pre-evacuation advisory was lifted.
