MEDICINE HAT – Authorities in southeastern Alberta have ended an emergency alert that was in effect due to a wildfire.
An alert early on Sunday afternoon had warned that a fire east of the community of Dunmore was threatening residential homes.
Anyone in the immediate area of the fire, which was south of Highway 1 along Range Road 40, was being told to evacuate if it was safe to do so.
The alert was dropped a few hours later, and the province’s emergency alert system said that anyone evacuated by the wildfire could return home.
Cypress County Director of Emergency Management Joe Cartwright said in a social media post that the fire was contained and no residences were lost due to the extraordinary efforts of firefighters.
Dunmore is approximately 275 kilometres southeast of Calgary.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 21, 2025.
