The Sylvan Lake Fire Department encourages residents to take extra caution to prevent fires. Officials note that proper disposal of smoking materials is very important as many fires are started by individuals throwing them out a window or discarding them in plants.

Residents who notice someone having a fire during this fire ban are advised to call 9-1-1.

This ban will remain in effect until conditions change and further notice is given.
