The wildfire danger in the Rocky Mountain House Forest Area has gone up to “very high”.
According to Alberta Wildfire, a fire restriction is in place for the Rocky Mountain House Forest Area, due to hot and dry conditions, which officials say increases the risk of fire danger.
Under this restriction:
• Existing fire permits are suspended.
• All fire permits presently burning under permit must be extinguished, unless approved to continue by a Forest Officer.
• Safe wood campfires within fire rings in campgrounds and back yard fire pits are allowed.
Wood campfires on public land and fireworks are prohibited.
This fire restriction will remain in effect until conditions improve. Alberta Wildfire asks, if you see smoke or fire in the forest, report it by calling 310-FIRE (3473).
