The Fire Restriction has been lifted. There are currently no fire bans, restrictions or advisories for the Yellowhead County and Edson Forest Area within the Forest Protection Area.

The wildfire danger in the Yellowhead County and Edson Forest Area remains LOW. This means that fire can still ignite but is not expected to spread to deeper vegetation layers or larger fuels, such as trees.

Wildfires can still start in cooler weather, especially in dry and windy conditions. Always use caution in forested areas. 

If you see smoke or flame in the forest, please call 310-FIRE (3473).

NASA’s FIRMS Fire Information website is a great resource for giving an idea of the location of wildfires in the area, but note that the data is based on interpolation and can often make wildfires look larger than they are.
