Due to the recent moisture received and forecasted throughout the region, County of Grande Prairie Regional Fire Service has lifted the Fire Advisory for the County, along with the towns of Beaverlodge, Sexsmith and Wembley and the Village of Hythe.

Fire permits may now be issued and are required to burn during fire season. Burning is not permitted when winds reach 12 km per hour or higher.
