The hot, dry and often windy conditions throughout central Alberta as of late are keeping local firefighters busy.
Shortly before 7 p.m. on June 7, Red Deer Emergency Services (RDES) responded to a brush fire behind the Pines neighbourhood.
City officials say crews were dispatched to the area and were on scene for approximately two hours extinguishing the fire. The fire spread to the adjacent residential area, causing a minimal amount of damage to one structure. Fortunately, no residents were displaced by this damage.
Despite extinguishing the fire, RDES crews have returned two additional times to address further hot spots.
