Province takes command role in firefighting efforts in Sturgeon County
After working around the clock for the past week to manage the response to the Redwater wildfire, Sturgeon County will hand over responsibility for firefighting operations to the province. In a news release, Sturgeon County said it requested assistance from Alberta Forestry and Alberta's Wildfire's incident management team. They will be taking the lead command role in fighting the wildfire. Sturgeon County Fire Chief Chad Moore said transferring the lead incident command role to Alberta Wildfire is necessary to take some of the extreme pressure off local crews. Moore said that transferring this responsibility to the province will allow teams from the Sturgeon Regional Emergency Management Partnership Group — who have been independently managing the wildfire for the past week — a much-needed reprieve. The group has been frequently "working around the clock for up to 18 to 20 hours a day" to manage the wildfire response, and this new command will take some pressure off the group, Moore said. He said the group will continue to command their emergency co-ordination centre to support residents and provide resources to the front-line effort. WATCH | What caused the Redwater wildfire? How a wildfire started near Redwater, Alta. 4 days ago Duration 1:48 A wildfire has burned close to 400 hectares near Redwater, Alta., since Saturday. Officials say the wildfire started after an all-terrain vehicle caught fire at the Redwater Provincial Recreation Area. As Travis McEwan reports, it's not the only wildfire burning in the province right now. Gavin Hojka, an Alberta wildfire incident commander, said that as of Friday morning, the incident management team from Alberta Wildfire has assumed firefighting operations. He said the provincial team will now manage the heavy equipment, airtankers, helicopters, and the approximately 150 firefighters that are working to suppress the wildfire. Moore said the fire began last weekend after an ATV caught fire in the Redwater Provincial Recreation Area, about 70 kilometres north of Edmonton. Since then, the wildfire has grown to more than 3,000 hectares and remains out of control. Sturgeon County officials said that 71 residences have been evacuated due to the wildfire in the area between Range Road 213 east to Range Road 203 and Township Road 580 south to the North Saskatchewan River. Hojka said that the fire remains very active due to strong winds, but that higher humidity and lower temperatures have helped lower the intensity of the fire. "Today we're looking at a surface and ground fire with some of our trees that may torch," said Hojka. "But we're not anticipating the running crown fire that we saw on the first few days of the fire. So it's allowing the crews to get a good handle on the conditions and make some good progress today." Hojka said that significant amounts of rain are still needed to lower the fire danger in the area. One home has been destroyed by the fire.

Crews battling wildfire north of Edmonton not out of the woods yet, say officials
Higher humidity and lower temperatures have helped crews responding to a wildfire north of Edmonton, but officials say they aren't out of the woods yet. Sturgeon County fire Chief Chad Moore says 71 homes have been evacuated as a blaze near the Redwater Provincial Recreation Area continues to burn out of control. He says people are being urged to stay away from the evacuation area while crews from as far north as Slave Lake, Alta., battle the 3,000-hectare fire. Officials have said the fire started over the weekend when an all-terrain vehicle caught fire after an apparent electrical or mechanical failure. Gavin Hojka from Alberta Wildfire says strong winds on Thursday ramped up fire activity, but higher humidity and lower temperatures helped lower its intensity. He says firefighters are 'not out of the woods' yet and are working on containing the fire's perimeter to limit its spread so they can get residents home as soon as possible. 'This has been an incredibly difficult situation, and we have seen incredible support from all of our community partners,' Sturgeon County Mayor Alanna Hnatiw told a news conference Friday. 'I just want to recognize the compassion and the resilience that we have seen in this community. This is definitely a testament to the strength and the enduring spirit of Sturgeon County.'

Alberta wildfires: Sturgeon County fire chief expects ‘significant fire activity' on Wednesday
A wildfire situation in Sturgeon County that has already forced dozens of people northeast of Edmonton to flee their homes is expected to continue to be a challenge for firefighters on Wednesday with temperatures projected to reach the high 20s in the region. 'We do expect that we will see some significant fire activity,' Chad Moore, Sturgeon County's fire chief, told reporters at a news conference held via video call on Wednesday morning. 'What we saw yesterday was … some very extreme fire behaviour.' On Tuesday afternoon, an evacuation order was issued for some parts of the county. It was later expanded and then an evacuation alert — warning people to prepare for the possibility of an evacuation order — was issued for even more areas, including the town of Redwater. Some residents of Thorhild County were also issued an evacuation order. Story continues below advertisement Sturgeon County wildfire evacuees are now being directed to head to a reception centre set up at the Morinville Leisure Centre. Moore said about 70 people have already registered and he expects that number will rise. Alanna Hnatiw, the mayor of Sturgeon County, also spoke at Wednesday's news conference. 'It's been a tireless fight against really difficult conditions,' she said of the wildfire situation that was sparked by an off-highway vehicle fire on the weekend. 'There has been devastation.' The fire, which started Saturday, has destroyed a farmhouse. Moore said crews would be attempting to survey damage on Wednesday and could not provide a further update as of morning. He said while an official estimate of the fire's current size was expected later on Wednesday, as of the morning he believed it was likely approaching 2,000 hectares. 'Crews worked through the night, continuing to protect properties,' he said, noting that at some points on Tuesday , firefighters had to retreat because of dangerous crossover conditions and crown fires on treetops.

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Moore noted crossover conditions are when the humidity is less than or equal to the temperature. 'A very dangerous situation,' he explained. 'You get such strong (fire) behaviour, … the embers from those burning trees may fly up to a mile or two ahead of the fire and start a secondary fire.' Story continues below advertisement He said that can create risks of new fires starting behind fire crews. 'Crews pull back to the area and focus on the fields and residences,' Moore said. 'We have to let this crown fire burn. 'There is no tactic that can stop that.' Tweet This Click to share quote on Twitter: "There is no tactic that can stop that." Moore said with the assistance of other fire departments and agencies, there were about 175 people working on the Sturgeon County wildfire situation on Wednesday, including about 30 front-line response vehicles. Hnatiw said with much of central Alberta becoming much more green this week, she fears the changing colours could create a 'false sense of security' among people. She reminded people to be cautious and aware of the high risk of fire as conditions remain very dry. Story continues below advertisement 'We need rain and the wind to stop,' Hnatiw said. '(The situation is) very dynamic,' Moore said. 'Fire behaviour can change minute to minute. 'We adjust constantly and appreciate everyone's patience. We know it's a very difficult situation to be in.' A fire ban is in effect for all of Sturgeon County. Sturgeon County officials said at this point they are not accepting donations or resources from people to help with the wildfire and evacuees but that they are collecting phone numbers of organizations that can help for if that situation changes.
