About a month ago, Ruby Nanaout got a notification on her phone that she should be prepared and pack a bag of important items in light of increasing wildfire activity in the Northwest Territories.

She had been living in an apartment in Fort Smith with her husband and son. A couple of weeks after the first notification, her phone showed a more dire one, alerting her to evacuate.

SA国际影视传媒淓verybody started getting ready,SA国际影视传媒 recalled Nanaout, originally from Chesterfield Inlet.

Her husband and son left first with three students from the college, while Nanaout stayed behind one day as an essential worker as a housekeeper in the hospital. The next day, Sunday Aug. 13, she evacuated with a co-worker at noon, heading on the highway to Hay River.

SA国际影视传媒淛ust when we were almost in Hay River, our phone went off and the alert went on and said Hay River was evacuating as well, so me and my co-worker were like, SA国际影视传媒榳hat?SA国际影视传媒橲A国际影视传媒

So they fuelled up SA国际影视传媒 luckily finding an open gas station quickly SA国际影视传媒 and the evacuation continued south, heading to High Level.

Nanaout met up with her family in High Level, continuing on to Peace River and arriving at a hotel past midnight. She had been on the road fleeing the fires for 13.5 hours by the time she got to the hotel.

SA国际影视传媒淭he highway was long,SA国际影视传媒 recalled Nanaout. SA国际影视传媒淭here were probably 10,000 evacuees from Fort Smith and Hay River.SA国际影视传媒

The next day, she was on the road again and headed to Grande Prairie, where she made it to the evacuation centre. She waited six hours in line but eventually got her number called and went through the process to get accommodations and meals.

SA国际影视传媒淓veryone is tired and stressed because of all this,SA国际影视传媒 recalled Nanaout. SA国际影视传媒淟ike what are we going to do, whatSA国际影视传媒檚 our plan? I think everybodySA国际影视传媒檚 going through that at the moment.SA国际影视传媒

Thankfully, people were very supportive, she said.

SA国际影视传媒淓ven people who I donSA国际影视传媒檛 know will come up to us and tell us where to go, what to do,SA国际影视传媒 said Nanaout. SA国际影视传媒淭hereSA国际影视传媒檚 a lot of support. EverybodySA国际影视传媒檚 supporting each other.SA国际影视传媒

Since the evacuation, she and her family have been in Grande Prairie, playing the waiting game.

SA国际影视传媒淚t was a tough journey,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淚t was scary. You could see the fires on the way to High Level, leaving Hay River.SA国际影视传媒

She had even heard of a car and camper that caught fire on the drive.

Asked if the experience changed her or what she would do if it happened again, Nanaout said, SA国际影视传媒淚 have no idea. I donSA国际影视传媒檛 know what I would do the next time. But I hope I will never experience it again.SA国际影视传媒

As of talking to Kivalliq News, Nanaout and her family were being taken care of in Grande Prairie as they waited for news of when they could return home.

SA国际影视传媒淎ll we have to do is wait patiently,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檙e safe. ThatSA国际影视传媒檚 all that matters.SA国际影视传媒
