The Alberta government has stated that, with the exception of the Rockies, the risk of fire remains extremely high throughout most of the province. Although some regions have received rain and cooler temperatures, it is anticipated that hot and windy conditions will resume in the near future. Nine First Nations communities, including Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, are currently threatened by active wildfires, prompting the evacuation of 1,600 residents and the destruction of 45 structures and power infrastructure. At present, there are 81 active wildfires in Alberta, with 27 categorized as out of control. Firefighters from several provinces, including Yukon, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick, as well as from Oregon and Alaska, have been dispatched to assist in the firefighting efforts.
