The fire self-ignited at the landfill on the first nation and according to reports, could continue to burn for days despite efforts to extinguish it.

Alberta Health Services issued a precaution­ary fire-smoke advisory for the Calgary area, advising residents to be aware of symptoms such as irritation to the eyes, throat and a possible shortness of breath.

As of press time, the advisory remained in effect.
