A forest fire is burning close to Kananaskis Village, but people in the area need not be concerned.
The controlled fire, in the Evan-Thomas Provincial Recreation Area, is part of prescribed burn lit by Alberta Parks crews earlier this week.
Prescribed burns actually help forests by recycling nutrients, preventing insect outbreaks and large-scale uncontrollable wildfires.
Bill Milne Trail between the Kananaskis Golf Course and Mount Allen Drive has been closed temporarily due to the burn.
People in the area asked to maintain a safe and respectful distance from fire crews.
Operations may continue next week if conditions allow.
