🔥Calgary Firefighters Respond to Increasing Grass Fire Hazards🔥 As grass fires continue to flare up throughout Calgary, our firefighters remain on high alert. On May 5, five distinct grass fires broke out near the Douglas Fir Trail, prompting immediate response from Your Calgary Firefighters.
The very next day, crews extinguished another fire southeast of the Calgary Zoo. With dry conditions and escalating temperatures, it's just the beginning of May. Experts are raising concerns: "Dead, dry grass presents an extreme wildfire threat," warns wildfire scientist Mike Flannigan, who predicts a potentially busy fire season for southern Alberta. We've witnessed how quickly these fires can spread. But rest assured, we'll be there—equipped and ready—to safeguard lives, homes, and the cherished spaces in Calgary. You can help by staying fire-smart. Remember, it only takes one spark. CTV Calgary /Calgary Herald
