Calgary Area Update (2)

The wildfire danger across the Calgary Forest Area (CFA) is now LOW. Colder temperatures, accompanied with rain and snow, have begun to set in. Although warmer temperatures are expected again by the weekend, these current conditions will help to drop the wildfire danger in the short term.

FIRE ADVISORY LIFTED

With the current downtrend in weather, the FIRE ADVISORY that had been in place in the CFA has been lifted. Fire permits are still required until November 1, and can be requested online or by calling (403) 297-8800.

Please visit albertafirebans.ca for information information on fire advisories, fire restrictions and fire bans across the province.
