Due to recent rain, Lacombe County has lifted the fire advisory.
While this change reflects improved conditions, residents are urged to exercise caution and always prioritize fire prevention. Fire permits are still required for all outdoor burns, regardless of size, except for fires used for cooking or warming and burning barrels.
While conditions have improved, it's important to remember that safe burning practices must still be followed. Residents are encouraged to review the conditions outlined in their fire permits and ensure they are burning responsibly.
Fire permits can be requested online using the Fire Permit Request Form, by phone, or in person at the Lacombe County office.
“Even with the wet, cool weather, it’s important for the public to be cautious with controlled burns,” said Dave Bain, county fire chief and manager of fire and emergency services.
“We also want to emphasize that any material from smoking, like cigarette butts, are disposed of responsibly, and not tossed from car windows.”
More information can be found on the county website.
