Battles against wildfires near Nordegg continued over the weekend. There are currently two wildfires classified as out of control in the western portion of the Rocky Mountain House Forest Area, according to an update from Alberta Wildfire on Monday. A wildfire referred to as RWF064, located 12 kilometres northwest of the Ram Falls Provincial Park boundary and 25 kilometres south of Nordegg, remains classified as out of control. This wildfire is now estimated to be 6,996 hectares in size. “Firefighters and heavy equipment continue work on building containment lines around RWF064, maximizing use of natural features in the area,” states Alberta Wildfire’s most recent update. “Thanks to the favourable weather, crews are making good progress on containment and suppression efforts. Helicopters will continue to support with strategic bucketing operations, as conditions allow.”
