Grande Prairie lifts fire restriction after rain and cooler temperatures

As of 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, the City of Grande Prairie Fire Department has lifted the Fire Restriction, thanks to recent rainfall and cooler temperatures that have lowered the wildfire risk to a moderate level.
