Back to SearchThe City of Prince Albert would like to advise the public that controlled burns will be taking place by the Prince Albert Fire Department starting Thursday April 15, 2021.
The first location is the drainage ditch starting at 15th Street East and working south ending at 6th Avenue East. Work will continue each day until complete. This location is expected to take approximately one week, depending on weather conditions. Once completed, other areas will include a section south of Wesmor School and south of Barton Drive. Maps below identify targeted areas.
Controlled burns are used as a way to mitigate grass fires by clearing out high hazard areas. The Fire Department would like to ensure that the public is aware and not to be alarmed if they see smoke in the area. Motorists should take caution when driving in these areas as visibility may be reduced due to smoke.
