Leduc County issues fire restriction
Leduc County is now under a fire restriction as of 4:30 p.m., Sept. 18, 2025. There is an increased risk of wildfire due to dry conditions and limited precipitation in the forecast.
No open fires, smudge fires or fires contained to burn barrels are allowed, and any of these fires burning when the restriction is issued must be extinguished immediately. The discharge of fireworks is not allowed.
All fire permits are suspended, as per the Forest and Prairie Protection Act, and no new fire permits will be issued for the duration of this restriction.
Residents can have a recreational (firepit) fueled by dry wood, a campfire at a campsite, use gas/propane appliances such as barbecues, heaters, and firepits, and use solid-fuel (charcoal and pellets) appliances.
Fire officials will continue to monitor conditions, and will update the public at leduc-county.com and albertafirebans.ca when the restriction is lifted or downgraded, or a ban is issued.
