Fire Restriction lifted for Entire County and Surrounding Towns

Fire Restriction lifted for Entire County and Surrounding Towns 

Effective at 2:00 p.m. today, Tuesday, August 27, 2024, the County of Grande Prairie Regional Fire Service has lifted the Fire Restriction that was put in place on July 29 for the entire County, along with the towns of Beaverlodge, Sexsmith and Wembley. This change aligns with Alberta Wildfire’s move to lift all advisories today.  

Due to cooler temperatures and recent rainfall, 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 this winter to ensure they are completely extinguished.
