A fire ban is now in effect for all of Red Deer County. A lack of recent precipitation has created dry conditions, which can easily lead to a fire growing out of control.
The County requires that:
- All outdoor fires presently burning within Red Deer County whether set with permission or under permit of the County, be extinguished immediately, and
- The ignition of any outdoor fires within the boundaries of Red Deer County are hereby prohibited.
This ban DOES NOT apply to:
- Fires, which are contained within cooking and heating appliances and which are fuelled by fluids, gases or charcoal briquettes.
- Fires contained within industrial facilities for operational purposes.
- Propane fueled fire pits
Red Deer County thanks residents for their cooperation.
