May 29, 2023 update: the fire ban has been downgraded to a restriction for Leduc County. Learn more.
Leduc County is now under a fire ban. There is an extreme risk of wildfire due to dry conditions.
No outdoor fires are allowed – including open burning and fires contained to approved burn barrels, firepits or charcoal barbecues – and all outdoor fires currently burning 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 ban.
Citizens can use cooking and heating appliances – such as barbecues, firepits and patio heaters – fueled by liquid fuel like propane or natural gas.
If you see a fire please call 9-1-1 and report it as soon as it is safe to do so.
Fire officials will continue to monitor conditions, and will update the public at leduc-county.com and albertafirebans.ca when the ban is lifted or downgraded.
