Lac La Biche Forest Area Update:
- There were no new wildfires today.
- Since March 1, 2018, there have been 189 wildfires that have burnt a total of 16,336.44 hectares.
If you are out enjoying the forested areas this long weekend remember to fully extinguish your campfire by soaking it, stirring it, then soaking it again. The ashes should be cool to the touch when the fire is completely out.
If you are planning to use an off-highway vehicle, stop often and remove debris from your machine. Grass and muskeg can get caught, heat up and start a wildfire.
We can all do our part to prevent wildfires this long weekend!
If you see smoke or fire in the forest, please call 310-FIRE.
