Low wildfire danger
The wildfire danger in the Rocky Mountain House Forest Area is currently low. However, wildfires can still occur in cooler weather, especially under dry and windy conditions. As temperatures rise and snow melts, exposing dry grass and vegetation, the fire risk will increase. Always use caution in forested areas.

Fire permits are required
Now that it is wildfire season, fire permits are required for any burning, except for campfires, in the Forest Protection Area of Alberta.
Fire permits help us track what is burning on the landscape. If you are burning without a permit or not following permit conditions, your fire could be considered a wildfire and you could be fined and may be responsible for the costs of suppressing the fire.
Fire permits are free and can be requested online. You may also request your fire permit by calling the Rocky Mountain House forestry office at 403-845-8250.
Help prevent spring wildfires
Everyone plays an active role in preventing wildfires. With spring just around the corner, it's important to revisit winter burn sites to ensure they are fully extinguished. Learn more about safe burning practices.
