Alberta Wildfire, Yellowhead County Fire Department and Hinton Fire Rescue are planning to conduct a joint hazard reduction burn on Friday Oct 16 at the RC Flyer fields, located northeast of Hinton. It’s expected to occur around noon if conditions allow. You may see or smell smoke in the area.

The burn would reduce the overall wildfire risk in the area by removing dead and dry grass and other flammable vegetation. Once the burn is complete, firefighters will patrol the area, extinguishing any remaining hot spots and return when required to ensure it's fully extinguished.
