“When faced with an emergency, always follow instructions from authorities and check for updated alerts.”Alberta created the first emergency alert system in the country more than 30 years ago.The wildfire season runs from March 1 to Oct. 31 in Alberta. According to the provincial government, nearly all spring wildfires are human-caused, making them 100 per cent preventable.
The spring wildfire hazard is highest after seasonal melt has left vegetation like trees and grasses extremely dry and flammable — under these conditions, wildfire can ignite easily and spread quickly.During the 2022 wildfire season, Alberta recorded 1,246 wildfires that burned 130,858 hectares of land. The province said 61 per cent of wildfires last year were caused by humans.
While it is too early to predict what the 2023 wildfire season will look like, the province said Monday the spring rainfall will have a significant impact on what can be expected.During the high-hazard time in spring, and throughout the wildfire season, the province said it is critical that people take care to fully extinguish campfires, frequently check off-highway vehicles for smouldering debris and conduct agriculture burning projects safely.
Fire permits are free but are required during wildfire season for activities like residential, industrial or agricultural debris burning within the Forest Protection Area . The forest protection area encompasses most of northern Alberta’s Boreal forest, as well as the western foothills and mountains outside the national parks — the province said the FPA represents the geographic areas concerned with the prevention and control of damage to forests from fire, insects, disease and other harmful agents.or by calling their local forest area office.To report a wildfire, call 310-FIRE toll-free, from anywhere in Alberta.
