There are currently no wildfires of note in the Forest Protection Area of Alberta.

Alberta's wildfire season ends on October 31. Updates will only be posted over the winter if warranted. The 2023 wildfire season begins March 1 and regular updates will resume then.


A wildfire of note is determined to be of significant public interest and may pose a threat to public safety, communities or critical infrastructure.

Wildfires of note do not typically include mutual aid wildfires located outside of the Forest Protection Area of Alberta. Alberta Wildfire provides assistance on a mutual aid wildfire but is not the lead agency.
