Evacuation orders have been lifted for Coleman in the Crowsnest Pass.

The Province says the wildfire west of the town is being held and they're allowing those evacuated back in.

However, evacuees need to check in and get a "re-entry" package and permit from the Town Office at 8502, 19th Avenue, in Coleman.

Contact the Municipal Office at 403-562-8833 for further information.

However, even with the evacuation lifted, and Highway 3 open again, fire officials are asking residents to avoid the area if they can, to allow emergency crews to keep working.
