Wildfire hazard high in GPFA

Jun 1, 2022 | 5:24 PM

The wildfire hazard is now rated high in the Grande Prairie Forest Area.

The wildfire information office says there have been 15 fires that have burned six hectares since the beginning of wildfire season on March 1. Nearly all are out. One is considered under control.

Fire watchers are again asking off-highway vehicle users to regularly check their machines for build-up of flammable material around the exhaust and wheel wells.

The wildfire hazard rating in the Peace River Forest Area is considered moderate as of Wednesday.
