Due to current weather conditions and precipitation, Sturgeon County’s Fire Restriction is downgraded to a Fire Advisory, as of June 2 at 9:00 a.m.
The following activities are allowed with caution:
- Yard and garden debris fires (fire permit required)
- Recreational backyard firepits
- Propane and natural gas-powered appliances
- Charcoal BBQs
Residents should use caution when engaging in activities that could provide an unintended ignition source, such as welding, grinding and OHV/ATV use. OHV/ATV operators are encouraged to check for debris buildup (grass/muskeg) on hot exhaust components and to carry a fire extinguisher on every ride.
For current OHV bans in Alberta Parks, operators should check https://albertaparks.ca/albertaparks-ca/advisories-and-public-safety/ohv-restrictions/.
