Past emergency for Slave Lake and Mackenzie County projects
The 2011 Flat Top Complex wildfire at Slave Lake
Alberta's wildfire page records that on May 15, 2011, one of the Flat Top Complex wildfires entered the Town of Slave Lake and destroyed over 400 buildings, and that the three related fires forced almost 15,000 residents to evacuate. For a comparable recovery, plan overnight staffing alongside clearing, rebuilding and utility work, and identify the sleeping layout, showers, laundry and meals the crew needs at the actual work site. This dated incident is a planning example; it does not establish current recovery demand or equipment availability.
