Smoke in Central Alberta is coming from one of five wildfires in the Rocky Mountain House area. One of those fires is still being classified as out of control. This fire is located approximately 5 km west of the Forestry Trunk Road (highway 734), 19 km northwest of the Ram Falls Provincial Park boundary and 30 km south of Nordegg. This fire is estimated to be 1,400 ha in size. Due to high temperatures, strong winds and dry conditions, the fire experienced growth to the east and north perimeter yesterday. Due to intense fire behaviour and safety concerns for our firefighters, crews could not work on this fire yesterday afternoon. Heavy equipment operated through the night while the fire behaviour was low, along the southwest perimeter with the goal of heading southeast.
