Wildfire Alert: Fam in Grande Prairie Gotta Bounce ASAP! 🔥🏡

The Real Deal

Okay, listen up, fam! Things are getting real in Grande Prairie County. There's a whole wildfire situation brewing near Kelly Lake, like, two kilometers from the BC/Alberta border. It's spreading faster than gossip in the group chat, so officials are hitting the panic button.

They've issued an actual evacuation order for residents north of Township Road 710 to Township Road 740, east of the BC/Alberta border to Range Road 130. If you're in that zone, you gotta yeet outta there ASAP – like, NOW. You literally have 30 minutes to bounce. This is not a drill!

And it gets worse: the evacuation alert area just got a major glow-up, expanding east and north. So if you're chilling along Township Road 710, from Range Road 130 to 124, or near the BC/Alberta border up to Township Road 750 until Highway 43, you need to be on high alert. Have your go-bag ready because you might need to skedaddle in 30 minutes too. They're saying high winds and temps finna fan those flames fr.

Oh, and one more thing – if you got any livestock (cows, horses, llamas, whatever), and they aren't already registered with the County’s Livestock Emergency Response Plan (LERP), hit up 780-532-9727, like, yesterday. It’s lowkey mandatory so everyone knows where they all are.

If you have to bounce, head over to the Hythe Community Library to register as an evacuee. They'll get you sorted. Pro-tip: steer clear of the wildfire area, ok?! Place got more checkpoints than your local Fortnite drop. The County of Grande Prairie been upping their defenses, helicopters and firefighters all over the place rn. Stay safe, fam!

The County of Grande Prairie also extended their State of Local Emergency. They're dropping more updates soon, but until then keep checking the town site for updates!
