A wildfire is currently burning in the southeast corner of British Columbia, creating smoke that is visible in the southwest corner of Cardston County. Crews in British Columbia are currently fighting the fire, and crews from Alberta Agriculture & Forestry are on standby. We are monitoring the situation in conjunction with the MD of Pincher Creek and will provide updates whenever possible.
In the meantime, those with sensitivity to smoke should take standard precautions such as limiting outdoor activity and keeping house and vehicle windows closed.

FIRE DONATION SCAM:
From the Town of Magrath: "The Town would like all Magrath and area residents to be aware of a new scam that is seeking donations for the victims of the recent Fox Creek and Yellowhead County fires. They are apparently using the name of members of our Fire Department to do so. Please ignore any requests in this regard, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to call the Town office."
