Current Fire Ban Status Advisory
With an unusually dry grass fire season upon us it is paramount that we use caution with any open burning within the county and municipalities. BESC is continuing to monitor weather and wind conditions and further fire restrictions may been imposed quickly. We are evaluating each fire permit application carefully and only allowing those fires that have an adequate water supply and are continuously supervised to proceed.
For up to date information on fire bans or restrictions please visit www.albertafirebans.ca
