Hey there, Alberta residents! If you've been following the news, you know that wildfires are currently a hot topic (pun intended!). As of July 25, there are 56 wildfires burning across the province, with some being quite concerning.

Out of these, 12 fires are classified as out of control! But don’t worry, local heroes, including over 1,400 firefighters, are on the front lines bravely tackling these flames with everything from air tankers to night vision helicopters.

If you're living in a wildfire-prone area, it's essential to stay up to date. Make sure to check the Alberta Wildfire Status Dashboard to follow the current situation!

And if you’re in the affected communities, keep an eye on evacuation orders, which can change frequently. As of now, several evacuation alerts have been cancelled, but it’s crucial to stay vigilant. Download the Alberta Emergency Alert app to get real-time updates directly to your phone.

Also, keep in mind that fire bans are in place in various areas, but safe campfires are still allowed. Always confirm with alberta.ca/fire-bans for the latest advisories!

Lastly, prioritize your health by checking out air quality monitoring information through Wildfire Smoke Information. Just because you see smoke doesn’t mean there’s a fire near you, so stay informed!
