Lacombe County reduces fire restriction to fire advisory
Lacombe County is reducing its fire restriction level to a fire advisory, effective August 15, due to precipitation and lower temperatures over the last week.
The County will now issue fire permits for minor burns, but will not approve any permits for large area burn activity until conditions improve.
The following situations are permitted during a fire advisory:
- Small, permitted burns
- Safe wood campfires*
- Bylaw-compliant backyard fire pits
- Portable propane fire pits
- Gas or propane stoves and barbecues
- Catalytic or infrared-style heaters
