A fire restriction in place has been lifted across the entire County of Grande Prairie. In place since July 29th, the restriction and advisories in the region were lifted thanks in large part to cooler day time temperatures and a fair bit of rain over the last few weeks.
Effective at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, the restriction was also lifted in municipalities across the country including Beaverlodge, Sexsmith and Wembley.
Despite the lift, fire officials are still urging residents to check any burn piles from this winter to ensure they are completely extinguished, and show appropriate caution when burning anything, especially when conditions get dry.
