  7. Alberta STILL has 75 wild fires. If any had wind like Edmonton, some will jump from 'Under Control' to 'Being Held' or worse.

    Area burned this year is staying stable at 2.2 million ha or 5.4 million acres.

    How much fossil fuel is used to fight all these fires? It all adds to the atmospheric carbon load but so does the burned trees.

  8. Moving up!
    Alberta now has 84 active wild fires. Lowest I saw was 78 in recent months but perhaps it dropped a bit lower. Meanwhile, 2.2 MILLION Ha or 5.4 MILLION acres have burned in areas with provincial responsibility.*

    *Fires fought by municipalities are not counted nor tracked.

  10. The Critical Alerts page points you to the ALBERTA wild fire page. They show two types: All and Fires of Note. When you read, just know these are only the forest areas the PROVINCE has responsibility to fight fires. Municipalities are not listed and so this is not a full list.
    These are the areas that helicopter crews were covering for first response. It is vast areas of the province.
