Moderate wildfire danger
The wildfire danger is now moderate in the Lac La Biche Forest Area.
Recent rainfall has provided valuable moisture, helping vegetation green up and encouraging spring growth. These conditions have temporarily lowered the wildfire danger. Periods of rain are still expected in parts of the area.
Wildfires can still start in damp and cool conditions. Continue to use caution when spending time in the forest.
