On Thursday, Rocky View County issued an advisory as rising temperatures, lack of moisture and windy conditions are expected to elevate the fire risk. "But if you look to the southeast of the county, it's pretty dry out there. And if you're driving around, you can see a lot of that dead, brown dry stuff."A fire advisory means the danger rating has increased, according to the Government of Alberta. Fire permits could be restricted under this status, but safe campfires are allowed in campgrounds and backcountry or random camping areas.
Provincial wildfire officials announced Wednesday that very dry conditions had prompted a fire restriction across the province's entire forest protection area, except the Calgary forest protection zone, which remains under a fire advisory.
