Evacuees forced out again

Some evacuated residents of Fort McMurray are having to pack up again as officials have determined they need to get out of their emergency shelter in Anzac, Alta., tonight.

The Rural Municipality of Wood Buffalo has tweeted that because of changing weather patterns, they have been advised by Alberta Forestry to clear out Anzac, Gregoire Estates and Fort McMurray First Nation.

Wood Buffalo Mayor Melissa Blake has also confirmed the new evacuation.

Officials say RCMP will be going door to door in the affected communities and buses will start leaving the area at midnight.

They stress that residents are urged to remain calm "as there is adequate time for evacuation in a safe and timely manner."
