Code Orange Friday News Today

Prince Edward Island’s biggest hospital declared a partial Code Orange Friday night 'in response to several trauma patients being expected at the hospital,' shortly after the RCMP sent out alerts saying a major route was closed because of a 'serious multi-vehicle collision.'

The University Hospital of Northern BC (UHNBC) in Prince George declared a Code Orange Friday morning after a motor vehicle incident involving a charter bus.

The wind is carrying the smoke and ash over from the wildfire to the rest of Brunswick County along with parts of New Hanover and Pender counties.

This story has been updated with new information from the superintendent and sheriff.
