Officials from Alberta Emergency Management Agency and Alberta Wildfire and Alberta Public Safety will provide an update on the ongoing wildfire situation in the province on Friday.

A few days of cooler, wetter weather has not been enough to extinguish the dozens of active wildfires burning hundreds of square kilometres across Alberta, and hot weather in the forecast has prompted some residents of Grande Prairie to prepare to evacuate as a wildfire burns outside the city.

The upcoming hot weather, with highs in the high 20s and low 30s, is expected to fan the flames over the next few days, said Trevor Grant, the fire chief of County of Grande Prairie Fire Services.

Meanwhile, residents of Drayton Valley, one of the largest Alberta communities to be evacuated because of the threat of wildfire this month, have been told to expect to be out of their homes for at least another week.
