Lacombe County reminds residents of Fireworks Permit requirements

(Lacombe County, Alberta, June 13, 2017) – With Canada Day celebrations approaching, Lacombe County reminds all residents that a fireworks permit is required if you wish to sell, purchase or set off fireworks within the province of Alberta.

“The use of fireworks is regulated under the Alberta Fire Code, and unfortunately, there are no exceptions to the rules spelled out in the code,” says Todd Gustafson Lacombe County Fire Chief. “If you plan on shooting off fireworks, regardless of the time of the year, a fireworks permit is required within Lacombe County.”

Gustafson notes that a number of municipalities within Lacombe County have banned fireworks altogether, and it is important that you check with your municipality before you plan on having a celebration that includes fireworks.

Although the use of fireworks can be a safe practice, if all precautions are adhered to, people are reminded that they are responsible for any fireworks they have in their possession.

Fireworks permits are free of charge and an application is available on the Lacombe County website www.lacombecounty.com or by stopping in at the front desk of the County administration office. It can take up to one week to process an application, so please do not wait until the last minute before the celebration begins.
