The province is reminding residents in the Grande Prairie Forest Management area that a fire advisory is currently in place.

That means all current fire permits are suspended, with the exception of burn barrels, incinerators, smudges, and smokehouse permits.

No new permits are being issued and essential burning is being evaluated on a case-by-case basis until significant rain falls in the region.

There is currently one active wildfire in the GP Forest Management area, which is listed as being under control.
