Fire advisory lifted
The fire advisory has been lifted for the Lac La Biche Forest Area. Fire permits are required for all burning in the Forest Protection Area (FPA), with the exception of a campfire.
Wind conditions
Wind is an important consideration. When winds exceed 15 km/h, all burn piles must be extinguished. High winds can cause fires to spread quickly and become difficult to control. Please pause all open burning until conditions improve and ensure all burning remains within permit requirements.
