Alberta's Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services Mike Ellis and other officials will update the wildfire situation in the province on Thursday.

Canadian soldiers have arrived in Alberta to help with the wildfire emergency ahead of more hot, windy weather.

Over the next few days, Canadian Armed Forces units will deploy to the Grande Prairie, Fox Creek and Drayton Valley areas, the province said Thursday.

Troops from the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (3PPCLI), and one Combat Engineer Regiment (1CER) are moving out to establish bases of operations in the province.

Military personnel will be used “where they are most needed,” the government said, in coordination with the Alberta Emergency Management Agency and Alberta Wildfire.

There are 20 states of local emergency and four band council resolutions, said Colin Blair of the Alberta Emergency Management Agency on Wednesday.
