Fire Restriction active in Strathmore

The Town of Strathmore is now under a Fire Restriction.

The restriction was put in effect on Monday, April 28, due to a moderate fire risk in the area.

"All previously issued open burn and fireworks permits have been cancelled," wrote the town on social media. "The Town will not be issuing new permits until the risk of fire subsides."

Despite the restriction, there are a few exemptions, including:

• Indoor fireplaces.
• Gas and propane stoves or barbecues.
• Solid fuel barbecues and smokers.

Although the town is in a Fire Restriction, the surrounding Wheatland County is only under a Fire Advisory.
