Moderate wildfire danger
The overall wildfire danger in the Calgary Forest Area is now moderate. Hot and dry conditions have given way to scattered rainfall and cooler temperatures across the area. The forecast is calling for continued cooler temperatures with the possibility of additional showers, before more stable and warm conditions set back in. The wildfire danger is likely to increase again going into the weekend.
Wildfires can still start in cool, damp conditions. Be cautious if you’re spending time outdoors and do your part to prevent wildfires. If you see smoke in the forest, report it immediately by calling 310-FIRE (3473).
