June 15, 2023 update: the fire restriction has been downgraded to a fire advisory. Learn more.

Effective immediately, Leduc County is no longer under a fire ban. The fire ban has been downgraded to a fire restriction.

Under a fire restriction, no open fires are allowed, and all open fires must be extinguished immediately. 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.

Citizens can use cooking and heating appliances – such as barbecues, meat smokers, firepits and patio heaters. Citizens can also use approved burn barrels and fire pits but should use extreme caution.

Fire Services 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.
