The wildfire danger is LOW in the Lac La Biche Forest Area 

Cool weather mixed with rain reduces the wildfire danger to LOW. Today we will see a maximum temperature of 110C, relative humidity is 75%, and the wind is N15 km/h.  We've been seeing smoke from the BC wildfires when we have a west wind, and smoke from the Montana fires when we have a south wind.  There are no new fires in our forest area.

It is always important to take the time to prevent wildfires; specifically, remember to check quads frequently for debris build-up.
