A fire advisory is now in effect for the Peace River Forest Area and MD of Smoky River 

The continued warm temperatures create conditions where wildfires can start easily and spread quickly. Be cautious when spending time outdoors and avoid activities that could potentially spark a wildfire.

Under this advisory:
• Existing fire permits are valid. Permit holders must follow all safe burning conditions outlined on the permit.
• New fire permits will be issued on a case-by-case basis.
• Safe campfires are allowed.

Prohibited:
• Any burning without a valid fire permit is prohibited, except for campfires.

When operating machinery like off-highway vehicles or farm equipment, always carry firefighting tools such as a shovel, fire extinguisher and a pail.

Never leave a campfire unattended, and make sure it is fully extinguished by soaking it, stirring it, and soaking it again.
 
Stay informed of fire restrictions and fire bans in your area by checking www.albertafirebans.ca.

If you see a wildfire, report it immediately by calling 310-FIRE.
