Evacuation Route: Evacuees

Red Glow Dept: But in much the same abrupt way that the forest fire invaded their hometown, they found themselves suddenly separated from their families, bouncing from point to point on the evacuation route, watching a red glow on the horizon punctuated by explosions and the sound of terrified wildlife haunting the smoke-filled air, according to Vancouver Sun. "We could hear animals, coyotes and wolves. They were just screeching, yelping," Cardinal said. "It was pitch black, you couldn't see anything." Teenage evacuees Jolene Cardinal and Vincent Auger thought they had a simple plan Sunday when they joined 7,000 other evacuees from the town of Slave Lake. "Nothing but red. It was scary," Auger said Monday. As reported in the news.
