Alberta Agriculture and Forestry along with the Sturgeon Lake Fire Department resumed hazard reduction burning in the community of Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation on Tuesday, May 11.
Burning will continue until tomorrow, May 13.
Trained firefighters will be burning under specific weather conditions to ensure the fires are controlled and to minimize the impact of smoke to roadways and communities. All public roads and highways will remain open. Smoke notification signs will be in place on major roadways.
The wildfire danger for the Grande Prairie Forest Area is now moderate, but a fire advisory is still in place. Existing fire permits are still valid, but new permits will be issued on a case-by-case basis, only for essential burning. Burning without a permit, other than a campfire, is prohibited.

Alberta Wildfire has issued a fire advisory for the Grande Prairie Forest Area.
The wildfire danger for the area is moderate, and they warn that high wind can cause extreme fire behavior and allow fires to spread easily.
With the fire advisory, all existing fire permits are still valid, but new permits will be issued on a case-by-case basis, only for essential burning.
All burning, except for campfires, is prohibited if you don’t have a valid permit.
Alberta Wildfire reminds people to never leave their campfires unattended, and to soak, stir and soak again until cool to the touch to put them out.
