Fire Risks remains high in rural areas of Northern Alberta regardless of the amount of rainfall received so take caution - fires in designated fire pits only, DO NOT leave your fire unattended and soak, stir and soak when done.  Lac Ste. Anne County has a fire restriction in place (July 8-2024) and Soaring temperatures has triggered a fire ban across Alberta’s forest protection area (officially designated as such - not for Sandy Beach).
