High wildfire danger
The wildfire danger in the Grande Prairie Forest Area is currently high. Current conditions make it easy for wildfires to start and spread quickly. Use extra caution while outdoors—just one small spark can lead to a wildfire.
Wildfire situation
GWF034 - Two Lakes Road now reopened under escort
This wildfire remains at 6 hectares in size and is now classified as being held, meaning it is not expected to grow under current conditions. It continues to burn in a log deck and some surrounding trees. Overnight firefighting operations were successful in suppressing the fire enough to now allow for safe, escorted vehicle passage on the Two Lakes Road. The initial priority will be to assist northbound traffic exiting the area.
At this time, the public is discouraged from travelling south past kilometer marker 2-124 on the Two Lakes Road toward the Provincial Park. The southbound priority will be given to essential industry workers while public access may be limited due to ongoing wildfire operations. Alberta Wildfire will continue to monitor conditions closely and provide updates on road access as the situation evolves. We thank the public for their continued patience and cooperation.
The cause of the wildfire is under investigation.
