Grande Prairie Forest Area
Wildfire Update - November 24, 2021
Alberta
Wildfire Survey
Wildfire
Situation
The Grande Prairie Forest Area has deep
layers of organic soils, this type of soil can ignite under debris piles
and smolder over the winter months. This is commonly known as a holdover
fire or ground fire. These fires often start during the fall and winter
months as a result of improperly extinguished fires. Always check the ground after burning
by digging deep and feeling for heat.
Do your part to prevent spring
wildfires by always making sure your winter campfire is out before you
leave. Soak it, stir it and soak it again! #ABWildfire
