Wildfire season has begun in the Forest Protection areas of the Northwest.

That’s opposed to last year when the season started around February 20th.

However, the approaches are still the same when being prepared and vigilant.

That also means Fire permits are needed to do any burning in the region.

Leah Lovequist is the Wildfire Information Officer in the Slave Lake Forest Area, which also covers High Prairie’s area.
