Approximately 8,000 people working at camps north of Fort McMurray have been evacuated and many more are on alert after gusting winds and high temperatures caused the wildfire to move rapidly towards them Monday evening.
At a hastily called news conference, officials said four to five camps on Aostra Road were under a mandatory evacuation order, sending workers north to the Syncrude and Suncor oilsands facilities for refuge. The order was issued because of the “unpredictable nature” of the fire and the fact that those camps could be isolated if the road was jeopardized, said Scott Long, executive director of the Alberta Emergency Management Agency.
Just after 10 p.m. Monday, the evacuation order was extended to all camps and facilities north of Fort McMurray to just south of Fort MacKay. The order, however, does not include Fort MacKay, Athabasca Camp and the Beaver River Camp.
As of Monday evening, Highway 63 southbound and within the city is open; however, it remains closed for sections of the highway heading north of city limits.
