Many evacuees forced from their Fort McMurray homes by\u00a0wildfire Tuesday are on the move once again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Three communities south of Fort McMurray,\u00a0one\u00a0including an\u00a0evacuation centre, were ordered to leave as changing weather patterns turned the\u00a0wildfire their way late Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

A red glow from the encroaching fire\u00a0can be seen ominously framing the Anzac\u00a0evacuation centre as people board buses. For Donna Guillamot, evacuated yesterday from Fort McMurray, the feeling is all too familiar.<\/p>\n

“I thought it was safe here, so I guess we’ll go to Edmonton,” said\u00a0Guillamot.\u00a0“It’s very stressful, you don’t know what’s burned, what’s not burned, when you can go back.”<\/p>\n

“Now you’re sitting here and all you see is red flames. It’s pretty scary.”<\/p>\n

RCMP went door to door in Anzac,\u00a0Gregoire\u00a0Lake Estates and Fort McMurray First Nation after a mandatory evacuation order was issued.<\/p>\n

Buses took people to Edmonton and officials\u00a0hope to have everyone out by midnight.\u00a0Dale Bendfeld, the\u00a0acting director of community services and policing for\u00a0Wood Buffalo, says safety, as always, is paramount.<\/p>\n

“As you can see looking up there this is a very large and very serious fire we’re working with,” said Benfeld.<\/p>\n

“It’s already taken on a city, we’re going to ensure that people of Anzac and Gregoire are safe and get them down to Edmonton and out of here.”<\/p>\n
