Attention all residents and travelers in Alberta:

The Alberta Wildfire service has issued a critical warning regarding extreme heat and wind conditions that are significantly increasing the risk of wildfires across the province today. These severe weather conditions are expected to cause existing wildfires to become highly active and potentially expand in size. The tireless efforts of our dedicated firefighting crews are currently focused on containing these out-of-control fires and addressing any new wildfire starts that may occur.

For real-time updates and information on wildfire activity, including evacuation orders, alerts, and bans, please download the AB Wildfire Status app, available at the following link:

This app is a crucial tool to help you stay informed and prepared for any wildfire-related situations that may arise. It provides detailed wildfire maps, fire advisories, and emergency alerts for your specific location.

To ensure your safety and the well-being of our firefighters, please be cautious and adhere to any fire restrictions that may be in place. Avoid any activities that could potentially start a wildfire, such as careless disposal of cigarette butts, using open flames, and operating off-highway vehicles in dry grass. Report any wildfire sightings immediately by calling 310-FIRE (310-3473).

Remember to check the app frequently for the latest information and stay tuned to local news sources for additional updates.

Stay safe and be wildfire aware!
