Dry and windy conditions continue to challenge firefighters battling the gigantic Chuckegg Creek blaze a few kilometres southwest of High Level, Alta., as another northern Alberta community faces a looming wildfire threat. Meantime, farther south, firefighters are still keeping a close eye on weather conditions as they battle the fire near High Level. Fairweather said firefighters have spent days building a fire break along the outskirts of High Level. Almost 5,000 people from High Level and nearby First Nations have been out of their homes for a week since the areas were evacuated May 20. In a video posted online Sunday afternoon, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said he would be visiting the provincial emergency operations centre in Edmonton once the wind shifted to monitor the conditions.
