The Northwest Fire Centre has had 33 wildfires reported since the start of April, four of which continue to burn.
In the same time last year, 21 wildfires had burned in the centre.
“Over the last ten years, we’ve had approximately 35 wildfires in the northwest fire centre between April 1st and July 2nd so I would say this year is turning out to be a very average year,” said Fire Information Officer Michelle Larstone.
She added the northwest part of the centre continues to experience drought conditions, which crews continue to monitor.
“So far, we’ve had a lot of success with initial attack crews being able to target fires as they start and get them put out.”
The fire danger rating across the centre remains low to moderate, with higher danger ratings spanning west and south of Houston.
A category two and three fire ban remain in effect across the centre.
