Crews are on scene fighting a grass fire Tuesday afternoon between the Old Man River and Bridge Valley Golf Club in Lethbridge.
As of around 4 p.m., 15 firefighters are actively fighting the blaze, which is causing heavy smoke in the area.
According to officials, the fire is being held by crews, and despite heavy wind fanning the flames, there is no risk of it crossing the river.
The official cause has not yet been determined, but the City of Lethbridge said in a tweet that residents are being reminded of a fire ban in the river valley.
