The wildfire in the Rocky Mountain House Forest Area, west of Sundre, is now classified as “being held” after an evening of containment efforts on Friday night.
The blaze is currently sitting at around 28 hectares in size, and given current weather conditions, is not expected to grow beyond its existing boundaries.
Officials say while the fire remains active, containment efforts have been effective, and the situation is considered “stable.”
According to Alberta Wildfire, the cause of the fire is still under investigation. Fire authorities are continuing to monitor the area closely and suppression activities are ongoing to ensure the fire remains within control lines.
Mountainview County says residents in the area are still encouraged to stay informed and prepared regarding the fire’s status.
