Moderate wildfire danger
The wildfire danger level in the Calgary Forest Area has been lowered to moderate. Cooler temperatures and recent rain in parts of the region have added moisture to vegetation, reducing the overall risk.
The fire danger is still very high in areas that did not receive rain.
Remember, wildfires can still ignite even in cool, damp conditions. If you're spending time outdoors, be cautious and do your part to prevent wildfires.
