Peace River Fire Department Responds to grass fire
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OCTOBER 19, 2026
The Peace River Fire Department responded to a 9-1-1 call of smoke and flames visible under the Heart River bridge this morning.

Captain Michael Frayne said when the PRFD responded, smoke and flames were visible under the north part of the bridge, adding the fire appeared to be started at a homeless encampment. Nobody was present at the encampment when PRFD personnel arrived.

It doesn’t appear there was any structural damage to the Heart River bridge, however Alberta Transportation will be inspecting it for potential safety concerns.

Traffic was re-routed around emergency vehicles while the fire was being extinguished. Cpt. Frayne thanked Peace River residents for their compliance during the event, but emphasized the importance of slowing down, moving over, and obeying the directions of emergency personnel who are diverting traffic. “The biggest reason to obey emergency vehicles is that they may be responding to a life and death situation, and every second counts. It’s also vital to the safety of first responders and motorists.”

On behalf of the council and the residents of the Town of Peace River, I extend our deepest condolences to the families and colleagues of those who lost their lives in the tragic event at CFB Wainright on Saturday, October 17. We were deeply saddened to learn of this incident, and our thoughts and prayers for healing are with the injured and everyone affected by this tragedy.
The Town of Peace River will be lowering its flags in solidarity with the brave men and women who serve in our Canadian Armed Forces, and the many first responders and municipal staff who responded with urgency and compassion to this unprecedented tragedy. Our bridge will also be lit up in red in remembrance of the four members who lost their lives.
In the coming days we will continue to hold in our hearts the CFB members and the many families who have been affected.

Council voted to keep the ATCO Gas (32%) and ATCO Electric (12.5%) franchise fees at their current rates for 2027. These fees are standard charges that appear on utility bills for everyone who uses gas and electricity in town, and together they are among the Town's largest sources of revenue outside property taxes (nearly $2 million expected in 2027). Holding the rates steady means no increase to this portion of residents' bills.

The ATCO Gas rate has been maintained since 2022, and the ATCO Electric rate has been maintained since 2024.
