A Fire Ban is back in place for the M.D. of Bonnyville, Village of Glendon, and Summer Villages of Pelican Narrows and Bonnyville Beach, as of 2:00PM on Thursday afternoon.
Under this restriction:
• All existing fire permits are cancelled, and no new fire permits will be issued.
• All outdoor fires must be extinguished immediately.
Prohibited:
• All open fires including campfires, backcountry and random camping areas and backyard fire pits and burn barrels on public or private land or campgrounds.
• Charcoal briquettes, tiki torches, exploding targets, and fireworks.
Allowed:
• Portable propane fire pits that are CSA approved or UL certified.
• Gas or propane stoves and barbecues that are CSA approved or UL certified and are designed for cooking or heating.
• Catalytic or infrared-style heaters.
We expect this fire advisory to reduce the number of human-caused wildfires in Alberta, while allowing Albertans to enjoy outdoor activities as much as possible.
Cold Lake First Nations issued a Fire Ban earlier Thursday as well.
