The County of Grande Prairie has issued a fire advisory for the entire county, along with Beaverlodge, Sexsmith and Wembley, effective 3 p.m. on Tuesday until further notice.
The advisory has been issued because of current and forecasted weather conditions and increased dry grass hazards throughout the region.
The county says existing fire permits are still valid, but new permit requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Safe campfires for cooking and warmth are still permitted, but extreme caution is urged.
Burning is not allowed when winds reach or are forecasted to reach 12 km/h or higher.
