A year ago, Slave Lake and surrounding communities were under siege:

Out of control wildfires swept through the region, forcing the evacuation of the town and resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.

Mayor of Slave Lake, Karina Pillay-Kinney recalls the sights, smells and sounds of May 15th of last year.

"I've seen major weather before and clouds of black smoke before, but this was a different feeling altogether.  When you saw fire falling from the sky.. it was quite shocking, very shocking."

Free FM's Jeff Henson spoke with Pillay-Kinney and several others and presents "Slave Lake: After The Smoke Settled" -- a half hour documentary tonight at 7 o'clock.
