Grass fires in Crowsnest

[bessiedog]

Two different ones.

Hwy 3 shut down.

Edge of Coleman being put on evac alert.

100-120 km/h winds.

Hope everyone stays safe out there.

[Husty]

Hilda/Burstall are under evacuation orders too.

Apparently there is a fire in they Cypress Hills, but that might be a rumor.

Stay safe out there guys and be smart. I was downtown for lunch today and had to stomp out some dry leaves that were smoldering because a smoker was too lazy to put out his ciggy.

Yup. Parents getting turned back in the pass as I type this. Apparently hwy 3 closed to the BC border. And now a big grass fire near Airdrie too.

[kevinhits]

Balzac area on fire as well....This is crazy!

[Bigwoodsman]

Be safe everyone. I sure hope this doesn't turn into a disaster!

No power anywhere in the Pass right now.

Stuck on Hwy 3 west of Coleman between the lakes and Sentinel. These winds are crazy.

Grass fire in Lethbridge too.

Just drove through a massive grass fire on hwy 901. Almost biblical. Glecien and Carsland evacuated.

Something a little unnerving about toodling through a smoke enduced brownout with the wipers sweeping ash off the windshield and hauling a couple of trailers full of gasoline.

Be smart be safe.
