People from three central Alberta communities that were forced to flee their homes because of wildfires will be able to return home on Tuesday afternoon.

Yellowhead County officials said Monday that the wildfires burning near Peers, Robb and Mercoal “saw minimal to no growth” the day before and that residents of those communities would be able to return to their homes at noon on Tuesday.

“Gas co-ops are working diligently to restore service for you to return,” county officials posted on social media. “As fire crews have equipment placed throughout the communities, they are working to move hoses and sprinklers to accommodate your re-entry.

“It will take several days to completely remove all their apparatus so you will notice it remains when you come home.”

The county also issued a re-entry guide for evacuees, which can be viewed on the municipality’s website here.
