Police and conservation officers have issued more than $15,000 in fines as RCMP keep enforcing the evacuation order.
- On Monday, the Village of Clinton reported that police and Conservation Officers issued more than $15,000 in fines to individuals entering the community without authorization during the ongoing evacuation order.
- The Village has been under evacuation order since July 24 because of the Pear Lake wildfire, which was estimated at 147,677 hectares as of Tuesday.
- RCMP continue to enforce the evacuation order under the Emergency and Disaster Management Act, as unauthorized entry risks public safety and diverts critical resources from recovery work.
- While residents may notice activity via home security systems, RCMP confirmed there have been no reports of looting in the Village, noting that authorized personnel are working on essential service restoration.
- Although some evacuation orders near 70 Mile, Green Lake, and Loon Lake were downgraded to alerts, no date is anticipated for lifting the order in Clinton or surrounding properties.
