With wildfires forcing thousands of Albertans to flee their homes, farmers are rushing to save their animals.
Carol Swap, who lives north of Drayton Valley in Brazeau County, said fires were surrounding her cattle farm on three sides.
While Swap wasn’t under an evacuation order, she was planning to relocate more than 100 cattle from her property if the fires came closer.
“It’s a little bit nerve-wracking because you can’t really get a good game plan put together,” said Swap on Friday.
“You just gotta wait and see what happens.”
Swap said her daughter and husband are staying with her after being evacuated from Drayton Valley.
