Fire risk in the region has dropped to 'Low' thanks to the rainfall we're getting today.

Sustainable Resources Development says there've been 33-wildfires in the local forest management area since the season began April 1st.

Across the province there've been 88 new fire starts in the past 24-hours, but the number of active fires across Alberta is down to 18.

While there are no bans in provincial forested areas, some municipalities are maintaining fire bans or advisories.
