Due to recent precipitation, the fire ban issued on May 26, 2026, for all areas north of the North Saskatchewan River, including Little Red River Park, will be lifted today at 12:00 p.m.

Residents are reminded that all recreational burning must comply with the City of Prince Albert’s Bylaw 15 of 2021. Failure to follow the bylaw may result in a $300 fine.

The Albert Fire Department reminds residents to follow fire safety rules when using backyard fire pits, chimineas, and barbecues. These rules protect property, reduce nuisance smoke, and prevent fire risk in residential areas. Non-compliance with the bylaw may lead to a fine.

Those who serve carry weight others never see. When others move away from a crisis, our Public Safety Personnel and Veterans run toward it.

We want to extend a sincere thank you to the City of Prince Albert and Mayor Bill Powalinsky for officially proclaiming June as PTSD Awareness Month.

Operational stress injuries (OSI) and post-traumatic stress injuries (PTSI) are real but "invisible injuries." By officially recognizing this month, the City of Prince Albert helps minimize the damaging effects of these injuries and supports a community where it is okay to ask for help.

This proclamation stands with those who serve and have served, ensuring they are seen, supported, and valued as integral members of our community. Together, we can continue to provide a path for our participants to rest, recharge, and restore.

June is PTSD Awareness Month 🧠🩵

As firefighters, taking care of our mental health needs to be at the forefront. We run towards emergencies that we urge others to run away from, and too many times those calls have devastating results.

We can’t anticipate what we’re running towards. We can’t anticipate how or when it’s going to impact us long-term.

And post-traumatic stress injuries can affect anyone — about 8% of the Canadian population has PTSD. Some common incidents leading to PTSD include car accidents, life-threatening injuries and illnesses, and assaults, although PTSD is much more prevalent in sectors frequently exposed to traumatic events.

So this PTSD Awareness Month, take care of yourself and do your research. Learn more about your risks of PTSD and how to minimize them in the event of trauma.

Did you know:
➡️ Between 25-45% of first responders and public safety workers experience a post-traumatic stress injury during their career.
➡️ PTSD represents nearly half of all lost-time claims for mental illness in the Canadian workforce.
➡️ Around 63-76% of Canadian adults report experiencing at least one traumatic event in their lifetime.

CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING ⚠️

An increased volume of CO calls is very common this time of year due to downdrafts and negative air pressure in homes. As temperatures change and homes are sealed up tight, using certain appliances together can create NEGATIVE PRESSURE inside your house. This can pull dangerous exhaust gases — including carbon monoxide — BACK DOWN chimneys, furnace vents, and water heater flues instead of letting them vent safely outside.

🚨 Things that can contribute to negative pressure include:
• Bathroom exhaust fans
• Kitchen range hoods
• Portable air conditioners
• Dryer vents
• Whole-home exhaust fans
• High-efficiency fireplaces or wood stoves
• Tightly sealed newer homes with poor make-up air

If your furnace, water heater, fireplace, or other fuel-burning appliance is backdrafting, carbon monoxide can quickly build up inside the home.

🚨 Signs of possible backdrafting:
• Smoke or exhaust smell indoors
• Excess moisture on windows
• Pilot lights going out
• Soot around vents or appliances
• CO alarms activating

Protect your family:
✅ Make sure you have working CO alarms on every level of your home
✅ Test alarms regularly
✅ Have furnaces, fireplaces, and vents inspected annually
✅ Avoid running multiple exhaust appliances unnecessarily
✅ Ensure proper make-up air and ventilation in your home

Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and deadly. If your CO alarm goes off, get outside immediately and call 911.

Great support for both firefighters and the residents of Edmonton. Providing emergency services with the resources and support they need to protect the communities they serve should be a top priority for leaders in every community.

Having fire halls and equipment properly placed around the community gives firefighters the ability to be there as soon as possible to protect your family, and ours.

Talk to your Ward Councillor today about where your nearest fire is.

NEW OPINION PIECE PUBLISHED.

As Edmonton grows, so does the demand on emergency response, and our budget needs to reflect that reality.

Edmonton’s firefighters do so much for us. They are on the front line during some of our worst crises, and we cannot continue to put additional pressure on them. They keep us safe, and they deserve the resources to do their jobs safely and effectively.

By investing in fire services, we’re investing in what matters most to us: the well-being of our families, friends, and community members. There is nothing more important, and that’s why funding for fire services is essential right now.

Much of the province is under a heatwave, with strong winds and extreme fire danger levels. Fires can start easily and spread fast in these conditions.

🚫 This is your reminder not to burn during windy or dry conditions. A small spark can travel long distances and ignite dry grass or brush within seconds.

🔥 Conditions can change quickly, even if things seem safe. Always check the weather and local fire restrictions before starting a fire.

Let’s enjoy the outdoors responsibly.
