Alberta Declares Start To Fire Season 10 Days Early - Normal Start Date 3/1

?w=615&ssl=1

The Alberta government has declared an early start to the 2024 wildfire season in the face of low snowpacks and forecasts of dry weather to come.

Alberta Forestry and Parks Minister Todd Loewen said Tuesday the season is now underway — 10 days earlier than the usual start of March 1.

“We are confident we are ready to tackle the upcoming wildfire season head-on,” he said.

I think my lungs are becoming some kind of leathery jerky every summer, except last year, we were somehow spared most of the smoke and heat.
