As of 8:30 a.m., there were 26 wildfires burning Alberta’s protected forests, down four from the day before.
Only one was burning out of control: a two-hectare blaze west of Calgary that was first assessed Thursday morning.
There had been no out-of-control wildfires since May 20, when a 18,500-hectare wildfire southwest of Fort McMurray was downgraded to the status “being held” and then finally “under control” on Tuesday.
