County of Grande Prairie lifts fire restriction

Effective at 11:00 a.m. today, Thursday, May 30, 2024, the County of Grande Prairie Regional Fire Service will lift the fire restriction that was put in place on May 17 for the entire County, along with the towns of Beaverlodge, Sexsmith and Wembley. 

Due to cooler temperatures and recent rainfall, the County will not have any advisories in place as the fire danger in the region is now low.  

Residents are encouraged to check any burn piles from this winter to ensure they are completely extinguished.
