The heat and curing will further dry the grass and other potential fuels.

With a special air quality statement out for Pincher Creek and the majority of southern Alberta, we want to share some tips to help keep your pets and livestock safe!

🐄🐑🦙🐎LIVESTOCK and large animal tips:

🔥 Limit exercise, especially high intensity activities

🔥 Provide plenty of fresh water near feeding areas

🔥 Write your phone number in silver sharpie on your horses hoof, braid a cow tag in their mane or other ways to identify your horses in case of emergency

🔥 limit dust exposure by feeding low-dust or dust-free feeds

🔥 Mist the livestock holding area to decrease dust

🔥 Plan to give livestock 4-6 week weeks to recuperate after air quality returns to normal

🔥 Reduce fire danger by removing dead trees and clear bush

🔥🔥 🔥 Have a livestock evacuation plan ready in advance! 🔥🔥🔥
