While the official end of the wildfire season in Alberta has been announced, Firefighters remain vigilant, monitoring for underground fires that could potentially reignite come spring.
Beneath the surface, fire may still smoulder in organic material known as peat, which has become increasingly susceptible to combustion due to prolonged drought conditions.
The reduction in temperatures does not guarantee the complete extinguishment of peat fires, emphasizing the ongoing need for caution and monitoring.
