County downgrades to fire advisory

The County of Grande Prairie has downgraded the fire restriction to a fire advisory, effective October 2nd, 2025.

County of Grande Prairie Regional Fire Service says that this is effective for the entire county, including town’s such as Beaverlodge, Sexsmith and Wembley.

County Fire Chief Trevor Grant says with the recent cooler weather, the risk has lowered.

“Due to recent cooler temperatures and increased precipitation, the overall wildfire risk across the County has decreased.”

Burning will not be allowed when winds reach, or are forecasted to reach, 12 kilometres per hour or higher. Landowners, and industry members are strongly encouraged to continue to inspect any previously burned piles to confirm that they are fully extinguished.

With the fire advisory in effect, some fire permits may be restricted.
