The wildfire hazard in the Grande Prairie Forest Area is back up to high. Wildfire information officer Kelly Burke urges people to call 310-FIRE if they see smoke or a wildfire in a forested area.
“Strong winds will make fire ignitions more likely and wildfires may spread quickly. Please continue to exercise caution,” she says.
A fire advisory remains in place for both the forest area and the County of Grande Prairie. No new fire permits will be issued for heavy fuel or non-essential burning.
