Hey there, Alberta residents! As the wildfire season heats up, it's super important to stay informed and prepared! Right now, there are 45 wildfires burning across the province. Five of these are classified as out of control, so let's dive into how you can stay safe!

First off, keep an eye on the Alberta Emergency Alerts for real-time updates on any evacuation orders. One area to watch is the Nose Creek Subdivision, where an alert is currently in place.

If you’re in the affected areas, make sure you have your bags packed and a plan ready in case you need to evacuate quickly. Also, don't forget to download the Alberta Emergency Alert mobile app—it sends alerts straight to your phone!

When it comes to preventing wildfires, every little bit helps. If you're doing anything outdoors, from burning leaves to using farm equipment, be extra cautious! Always have water or a fire extinguisher on hand.

And hey, if you're out camping, never leave a campfire unattended, and douse it thoroughly before leaving. Follow the fire advisories in your area, and report any smoke or flames you see by calling 310-FIRE.
