The wildfire hazard continues to be VERY HIGH for the Lac La Biche forest area.  We expect these conditions to persist until we get a change in weather.

We have six crews and six helicopters on hand to action any new fires today.

Please be careful in the forest this long weekend. Grass is drying out and becoming more flammable with each hot, dry day. Watch your quads for grass and debris that can build up in hot spots, heat up, fall to the ground, smoulder, and start a wildfire.  Stop frequently, clear debris from your machines.

Thanks for doing your part to prevent wildfire.
