The County of Grande Prairie and the City of Grande Prairie have lifted the fire advisory, as well as the towns of Beaverlodge, Sexsmith and Wembley.
Residents are reminded that permits are required during the fire season. Burning is not permitted when winds reach, or are forecasted to reach, 12 km per hour or higher.
“Preventing wildfires doesn’t fall on just one person or one department, it takes everyone,” said City of Grande Prairie Fire Marshal, Chris Renyk. “Whether you’re putting out a cigarette properly or reminding a friend to check wind conditions before lighting a fire, small actions matter. We all have a role to play in keeping our community safe during fire season.”
Landowners and industry members are strongly encouraged to inspect any piles burned during the winter to confirm they are fully extinguished. For fire ban updates, visit the county website.
