The wildfire risk for the Grande Prairie Forest Area has been decreased to low.
According to the latest update from Alberta Wildfire, the level change does not mean no new fires can start, but rather it is expected they will not spread into the ground or areas with more fuel. The level change comes four days after the wildfire risk was dropped to moderate ahead of the Thanksgiving long weekend.
As of October 15th, no fires are burning in the forest area. However, in 2024, 107 wildfires have been reported in the Grande Prairie Forest Area that have burned close to 388.79 hectares of long. All wildfires are now extinguished.
