The wildfire hazard continues to be HIGH for the Lac La Biche Forest Area. We expect this hazard to continue until we get a break in the weather and some precipitation.
We have 7 crews and 5 helicopters on hand to action any new wildfires.
Remember that you need a permit for any burning other than a campfire. Permits are free and are available from your local Alberta Wildfire office. On the back of the permit you will find a list of conditions for safe burning, including wind speed limits. Never burn, even if you have a permit, when winds are stronger than 15 km/hr.
Thanks for doing your part to prevent wildfire.
