As of 11:00 a.m. on May 30th, the County of Grande Prairie has lifted the fire restriction for the entire county.
The County of Grande Prairie Regional Fire Service says due to cooler temperatures and recent rainfall, conditions have improved enough to let the county lift all advisories in place as the fire danger in the region is now considered low.
Despite the lift, residents are encouraged to check any burn piles from the winter to ensure they are completely extinguished, and always practice safe burning. A list of best practices is available on the county’s website or through the fire service at (780)-532-9727.
The lift includes the entire county along with the towns of Beaverlodge, Sexsmith, and Wembley.
