Authorities in Rocky View County are warning the public about an out of control wildfire burning near the community of Bragg Creek and advise them to prepare for possible evacuation.
Officials say the fire is in the McLean Creek area and is not posing any threat to Bragg Creek, but residents should stay aware of the situation in case circumstances change.
Those living in the area should also be on standby to leave the area if necessary.
On Sunday afternoon, Alberta Emergency Alerts issued a bulletin about the wildfire, saying that it is listed as out-of-control and is approximately 100 hectares in size.
Voluntary evacuation orders have been put in place for areas west of Highway 762 between Highway 22 and 178 Avenue W.
The McLean Creek wildfire isn't the only blaze burning in the Calgary area on Sunday.
Officials say there is another out of control wildfire in the Kananaskis area, three kilometres west of Champion Lakes.
That fire is between 80 to 100 hectares in size but it is not threatening any homes or communities either.
Alberta Emergency Alerts says the smoke from that fire also has the potential to impact driving conditions and air quality.
