Rain and cooler temperatures have led officials with Red Deer County to lift a fire advisory previously in place.

The advisory was lifted as of 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, 2024.

County officials say permits are now available online at rdcounty.ca/fire. Residents are reminded to set-up their account to obtain their burn permit.

A reminder that a fire permit is required for all open fires year-round, except for safe acceptable residential fire pits* within Red Deer County.

Fire Services will continue to monitor weather patterns and should dry weather conditions return, another fire restriction may be put in place.
