Effective Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at 2:00 p.m., the City of Grande Prairie Fire Department has lifted the Fire Restriction for the city. This decision follows recent rain and cooler temperatures, which have reduced the wildfire danger in the area to a moderate level.

This change aligns with Alberta Wildfire’s move to lift all restrictions in the Grande Prairie Forest Area. While the risk has decreased, residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and follow all burning guidelines to ensure community safety.

Residents are encouraged to check Alberta Fire Bans to see if a fire ban or restriction is in place in the area they plan to visit. If you see a wildfire, report it immediately by calling 310-FIRE.
