Stirling Fire deployed to support Swan Hills community

The wildfire, which remains out of control north of Swan Hills, has forced the mandatory evacuation order to remain in place in the region, putting authorities and rescue teams on high alert. Firefighters from the Stirling Fire Department are providing support and have responded to the scene to contain the blaze’s spread. This joint effort is crucial at a time when danger continues to loom over the surrounding communities. Scott Donselaar, Chief Administrative Officer, Village of Stirling, says more.

Some recommendations for community includes: gather pets, important documents and medication, enough food, water and supplies for at least three days. A reception center is set up and located at the Allan and Jean Miller Centre located at 58 Sunset Blvd, Whitecourt Alberta. All evacuees are encouraged to register at the reception centre.
