Fire Advisory Lifted for County and Surrounding Towns
Effective at 3 p.m. today, Friday, October 31, 2025, the County of Grande Prairie Regional Fire Service will be lifting the Fire Advisory that was put in place on October 2 for the entire County, along with the towns of Beaverlodge, Sexsmith, and Wembley.
Due to cooler temperatures and the changing season, the County will not have any advisories in place as the fire danger in the region is now low.
Residents are encouraged to check any burn piles from the past winter to ensure they are completely extinguished.
For safe burning practices, visit www.countygp.ab.ca/fire or contact Regional Fire Service at 780-532-9727.
Background Information
Depending on the conditions, the County of Grande Prairie uses the following tiered system to temporarily limit activities that may lead to wildfires. Fire advisories, restrictions, or bans can reduce human-caused wildfires.
-
Fire Advisory: The fire danger rating has increased. Fire permits may be restricted. Safe campfires are allowed in campgrounds, but this level is a warning they may be restricted if the situation doesn't improve.
-
Fire Restriction: A fire restriction prohibits the use of wood campfires on public land but does allow wood campfires inside provincial campgrounds and private property in an approved fire pit, including inside County campgrounds. Fire permits may be restricted, suspended, or cancelled, and no new fire permits will be issued.
-
Fire Ban: A fire ban prohibits wood campfires on public land, campgrounds, and private land, including backyard fire pits. Fire permits will be suspended or cancelled, and no new permits will be issued.
