Sylvan Lake Fire Ban in effect

Jun 8, 2023 | 12:02 PM

A Fire Ban is in effect for the Town of Sylvan Lake as of 11:30 a.m. on Thursday June 8, 2023.

The Fire Ban includes:

• Incinerators (for farm and acreage use)
• Camp stoves
• Solid fuel barbecues (charcoal briquettes, wood pellets)
• Recreational camp fires
• Chimeneas

At this time, say Town officials, internal household fireplaces, and liquid fuel barbeques (propane and natural gas), are still permitted; never leave an open flame unattended.

Due to dry conditions and poor air quality, the Town of Sylvan Lake, and the Sylvan Lake Fire Department also remind the public to dispose of cigarette butts responsibly.
