County of GP fire service responds to 14 brush fires in 9 days
The County of Grande Prairie Regional Fire Service is urging the public to use caution after crews responded to several fires.
Over the past nine days, crews attended over 14 brush fire calls, including campfires, yard cleanups, and fires escaping fire pits.
The County of Grande Prairie remains under a fire advisory due to extremely dry conditions and lack of rainfall, resulting in increased fire hazards. No new burning permits will be issued until conditions improve. Residents need to refrain from burning, if possible, to mitigate the risk.
