FIRE BAN DECLARATION PROCESS
Under municipal policy (A-FIRE-PRO-1, 2023), the Fire Ban status is an administrative undertaking with the decision made in consultation with Council, Our Local Fire Chief/Department, and our neighbouring municipality (Lac Ste. Anne County). Although we do have an independent responsibility to review Fire Bans in our municipality, we do strive to coordinate with Lac Ste. Anne County as this helps avoid confusion between our policy and that impacting neighbouring subdivisions around the lake.
Please also note that there are different levels of fire ban status to be aware of, with varying levels of restriction which may be expanded to include traditional (wood burning) fit pits, propane or gas fire pits, grills and BBQs, and UTV/ATVs, depending on the severity of local or regional fire risk. A note of fire ban status change will include specifics of the restrictions as updated from time to time.
