Canada Task Force 2

Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the Horse River wildfire. Our thoughts are with the communities in the Fort McMurray region, and all of the people affected by this monumental wildfire in Alberta’s history.

Alberta Wildfire used the experience of fighting the devastating 2016 wildfire to make changes in the way we respond to wildfires.

Over the past decade, Alberta Wildfire has worked closely with the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo and Indigenous communities to enhance wildfire resilience.

Today, Alberta Wildfire is focused on partnerships to ensure we have a unified wildfire approach and response in the event of a wildfire.
