Permitting: Lac La Biche County and Alberta’s Forest Protection Area

The County and the provincial government handle fire permitting and wildfire management in different areas.

This is because most of the County falls within Alberta’s Forest Protection Area. Click here to see a map of the County, showing who is responsible for which areas.

If your property is in an area handled by the provincial authorities, you will need to contact Alberta Agriculture & Forestry about fire permits.
