Fire restriction in effect for County of Stettler
A fire restriction is in effect for the County of Stettler as of 4 p.m. on April 16 due to current weather conditions.
The county says the current weather forecast does not indicate any additional significant precipitation in the upcoming weeks and the fuel moisture content remains low, prompting the restriction.
Under the restriction:
- New permits will be issued for a limited five day period for small brush piles. Burning of windrows and large brush piles is prohibited.
- Essential burning is permitted in burning barrels that are constructed of non-combustible material, with a metal mesh screen with openings no larger than 13 mm.
