With dozens of wildfires already burning across Alberta, Banff's Fire Department is educating its residents and visitors on how the town is prepared to respond to emergencies.
"On a nice normal, calm day here in Lethbridge, we do still have wind, and that fire could easily double in size every two to three seconds," explained Hicks.
A wildfire that broke out Sunday near the northeastern Alberta hamlet of Saprae Creek is now being held, and an evacuation alert that was issued Sunday has been dropped.
