The restriction order is in place to protect crews as they continue to battle the 81,139-hectare blaze.

The area remains tinder dry, as current drought conditions are causing fuels to dry out and crews continue to battle flare ups.
The most active area of the fire yesterday (Aug. 18) was along Westside Road, north of Fintry Park.
Air support will continue to support ground crews with suppression activities today.

Crews, and regional district officials, cannot conduct assessments where it is not safe to do so. But they are all working hard to get people home as soon as possible, Swift said.
