High-risk wildfire conditions remain, but AltaLink has determined that only one of the two transmission lines supplying the Hughenden area needs to be taken out of service, which will maintain power to the Village of Hughenden and the surrounding area. Because of continuing high wildfire risk, the second line supplying the area will be out of service this afternoon until conditions improve.
