Default Fire at Lac st Anne?????

Jeepers! Besides the Ft. Mac fire and a fire at Edmontons Waste facility, I just heard on the news that the Nakota First Nations reserve on Lac st Anne is also under an evacuation alert because of a large fire that has broken out there. Evacuation alert includes Alberta Beach and hamlet of Glenevere(sp?).

We thanked El Niño for a warm winter...now we unfortunately have a dry spring because of it.

Be safe everyone.

Just try to name an area in Alberta where there isn't a fire ban or a need for extreme caution. What did I see tonight on a bank of the Old Man???!!! Some wannabe NASA recruits having themselves a nice little campfire!!!! Some dangerous rectal-cranial inversion happening out there folks😡 Keep those unfortunate northern residents in your thoughts/prayers and keep your eyes open for those people who are too flippin' blind to see the potential hazards of their own stupidity. Hold on tight!!! This could be one very bumpy fire season😳
