Fortunately, over 1,500 brave firefighters are currently on the ground, fighting these fires. They’re using everything from helicopters to heavy equipment to keep you safe. If you’re looking for real-time updates, check out the Alberta Wildfire Status Dashboard.

Some communities are under evacuation orders, so if you live in or around Peerless Lake or Trout Lake, be sure to stay informed about your safety. The Alberta Emergency Alert app is a great tool to have!

Also, there’s currently a fire advisory across the Grande Prairie and Lac La Biche areas. While campfires are still allowed, keep in mind that fire permits will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis due to recent strong winds. Always confirm the current fire restrictions in your area.
