Fire permit season starts on March 1, 2022, and burning without a fire permit will result in a hefty fine. Lacombe County reminds people that permit requests are free and easy to submit online, through the “myLacombeCounty” app, and in person.
Ratepayers can submit their fire permits 24/7 online through the Lacombe County website (www.lacombecounty.com) or through the myLacombeCounty app (iPhone users only). They can also request permits in person at the Lacombe County Office during business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), or by calling the Community Services Department at 403-782-8959 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
“Fire permits are free of charge and easy to obtain,” said Bussiere. “Permits are essential to public safety and burning responsibly, and are there to ensure the safety of Lacombe County residents and their neighbours. While most controlled burns in the County are permitted, we continue to have situations where people don’t take out a permit and can be charged under the bylaw. ”
