GWF034 – Two Lakes Road now reopened under escort
From AB Wildfire – Grande Prairie Forest Protection Area Update
This wildfire remains at 6 hectares in size and is now classified as being held, meaning it is not expected to grow under current conditions. It continues to burn in a log deck and some surrounding trees. Overnight firefighting operations were successful in suppressing the fire enough to now allow for safe, escorted vehicle passage on the Two Lakes Road. The initial priority will be to assist northbound traffic exiting the area.
At this time, the public is discouraged from travelling south past kilometer marker 2-124 on the Two Lakes Road toward the Provincial Park. The southbound priority will be given to essential industry workers while public access may be limited due to ongoing wildfire operations. Alberta Wildfire will continue to monitor conditions closely and provide updates on road access as the situation evolves. We thank the public for their continued patience and cooperation.
The cause of the wildfire is under investigation.

From AB Wildfire – Grande Prairie Forest Protection Area Update
Alberta Wildfire, the M.D. of Greenview, and Weyerhaeuser continue to actively respond to wildfire GWF034, located along the Two Lakes Road about 80 km southwest of Grovedale, near kilometre marker 2-125. The wildfire is currently estimated at 6 hectares in size and is burning in a log deck and nearby trees.
Ground crews, heavy equipment, helicopters, and airtankers are actively working to suppress the fire. Night firefighting operations are planned for tonight to continue making progress on containment. The Two Lakes Road remains closed to protect the safety of both the public and emergency responders. The fire is burning intensely in a large log deck, which is producing significant heat and smoke, making suppression efforts more challenging. Crews are working diligently to bring the fire under control in order to have the road reopened as soon as it is safe to do so. At this time, the estimated reopening is Sunday afternoon, June 1, depending on fire activity and progress on containment.
We strongly urge the public to avoid the area, as additional traffic could interfere with firefighting operations. There is currently no threat to communities, infrastructure, or Provincial Parks. The cause of the wildfire is under investigation.
