The MD of Greenview has issued its final update on the North Goodwin Area as conditions continue improving.
According to the MD of Greenview’s Emergency Management Department, conditions have improved enough to downgrade the evacuation order for the North Goodwin area to a two-hour alert. Residents who return home will remain on a two-hour alert as a precaution in case conditions worsen.
“Everyone in the North Goodwin area west of Range Road 21, between Township Road 734 and Township Road 741 may now return home,” the MD says.
Firefighting operations continued yesterday with night-vision helicopters reporting a “significant reduction” in active hotspots compared to previous nights.
Despite the reduction in hotspots, firefighters report challenging fire behaviour due to high winds. The MD says the blaze was quite active yesterday; however, additional firefighting resources were deployed to help with cold trailing and hotspot extinguishing.
All residents in the MD of Greenview are encouraged to stay prepared for a potential evacuation on short notice throughout the hazardous season.
