Province launches two new online wildfire information services
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The provincial government is making it easier for Albertans to access information on wildfires.
An online wildfire dashboard and fire permit portal will join the Alberta Wildfire app in an effort to put critical wildfire management and prevention information directly into the hands of people in the province.
Nate Horner, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Economic Development said, “Albertans want to be in the know during wildfire season and do their part to prevent human-caused wildfires.”
“Last year, 67 per cent of wildfires were caused by humans. These new tools will empower residents and visitors with the information they need to make smart decisions during wildfire season.”
