🔥 Fire Restriction Lifted in Lethbridge County 🔥

Effective Monday, June 1, the Fire Restriction in Lethbridge County has been lifted.

Recent precipitation and cooler temperatures have reduced the fire risk across the region, allowing previously restricted activities to resume.

The following are now permitted under the County's Fire Bylaw:

✅ Controlled burns (permit required)
✅ Fireworks (permit required)
✅ Recreational campfires in approved fire pits
✅ Burn barrels and incinerators with spark arrestors
✅ Charcoal briquette barbecues
✅ CSA/ULC-approved gas or propane heaters, stoves and barbecues
✅ Wood pellet grills
✅ CSA/ULC-approved gas or propane fire pits and fire rings

Lethbridge County uses a data-driven approach to determine fire status changes. We regularly monitor weather forecasts, wind conditions and vegetation moisture levels, while consulting with regional fire chiefs to assess fire risk.

As conditions can change quickly, residents are reminded that a Fire Restriction or Fire Ban may be implemented again if warmer temperatures, dry conditions and strong winds increase the risk of wildfire.
