Parks Canada is actively managing a wildfire inside the south west corner of Prince Albert National Park (PANP) with all resources they deem necessary.
The Phoenix fire, as it’s been named, is located north of Cookson Road in the Rabbit Creek area. It is actually burning within the same area of the park that was charred by the Rabbit Creek wildfire in 2018. In a media release, the PANP said the fire is approximately 36 hectares and was caused by a lightning strike. They said additional fire starts may occur.
“The safety of people, infrastructure and neighbouring lands is always Parks Canada’s first priority. Based on current and expected fire behaviour there is no impact on neighbouring residents or visitor opportunities or activities due to the fire,” the release said.
