The wildfire danger in the Rocky Mountain House Forest Area remains low due to widespread rainfall and continued showers.

With additional rain in the forecast, officials say conditions are expected to remain the same in the short term. Several consecutive days of high temperatures without additional precipitation would be needed for the wildfire danger to increase.

Officials caution that low wildfire danger does not eliminate the risk of human-caused wildfires. Any burning should still be done responsibly, and all fires must be fully extinguished before leaving the area.

Staff from the Rocky Mountain House Forest Area will host a FireSmart event at the Bearberry Community Hall on June 14 from 2 to 4 p.m. Presentations will cover how to FireSmart a home, including small but meaningful actions that can be taken around a property to reduce wildfire risk. The event is open to the public.
