An out-of-control wildfire has triggered an evacuation order south of Whitecourt, Alta., with officials urging residents to leave immediately.

The fire, estimated at about 55 hectares in size, is located roughly 3.5 kilometres south of Whitecourt and is moving south due to windy conditions.

Officials are advising people to gather pets, important documents and medication and register at the evacuation centre, which has been set up in Whitecourt.
