A massive grass fire has caused the evacuation of several homes in the western area of Edmonton.
According to reports, the fire broke out on Wednesday afternoon near the community of Parkland County. The strong winds and dry conditions quickly spread the flames, prompting authorities to issue an evacuation order for the nearby homes.
Residents were advised to leave their homes immediately and seek shelter at a nearby community center. The local fire department and emergency services were quick to respond to the scene, working tirelessly to contain the fire and protect the affected homes.
As of now, there have been no reports of injuries or damage to any structures. However, the fire is still ongoing and residents are urged to stay away from the area until it is deemed safe.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it serves as a reminder for everyone to be cautious during this dry and windy season. Authorities are urging residents to follow all fire safety precautions and to report any potential fire hazards.
