Wildfire update

High Level Forest Area - March 26, 2025

Low wildfire danger

The wildfire danger across the High Level Forest Area (HLFA) remains low, but, with the official arrival of spring last week, is likely to climb in the coming weeks. As warmer conditions continue to melt the snow, large areas of dead and dry grass will be exposed, which can support fast-moving wildfires, especially on warm and windy days. 

Fire permits required

As we are now into official wildfire season (Mar. 1 to Oct. 31), fire permits are now required for any burning, except campfires, in the Forest Protection Area of Alberta. Fire permits are free and can be requested from the HLFA main office at 780-926-5407 or online on the fire permit webpage
