Edson and many Yellowhead County residents will not be able to return home on Wednesday.
When an evacuation order was issued last Friday, residents were told to be prepared to be gone until at least Wednesday.
In an update on Sunday, officials said they’re not sure when it will be safe to return. The fire is currently burning 1.5 kilometres from the town of Edson.
The fire is now 204,000 hectares in size with a second fire that’s 87,000 hectares in size. Nearly 14,000 people have been evacuated as a result of the two fires.
Yellowhead County and the Town of Edson are expected to provide another social media update Monday afternoon.
