While wildfire season may be coming to a close, there is still a risk for wildfires in the Calgary Forest Area. As the days are getting cooler, cooking and warming fires are helping to keep Albertans warm while enjoying the outdoors. Remember to fully extinguish campfires when you are done and never leave them unattended. Until there is significant snow coverage, there is still a risk of a wildfire starting.
