ANNOUNCEMENTS

A FIRE ADVISORY has been issued for Lac Ste. Anne County: Effective as of 3:00 pm, Tuesday, May 13, 2025, until further notice.

Welcome moisture was received across all areas of the County in recent days. Moderate temperatures, with some scattered showers are expected throughout the next 10 days.

Fine fuel moisture has increased due to green up conditions. This reduces hazard in our area in light grassy fuels and mixed treed fuels.

• Fire(s) in acceptable fire pits
• Campfires on non-combustible surface surrounded by a fire ring
• Permitted short duration open burning with inspection by a Fire Guardian
• Burn barrels
• Wood-fired appliances, incinerators
• Propane powered appliances and pallet smokers
• Smudge and or ceremonial fires

Prohibited burning:
• Large pile (greater then 16’ in diameter), multiple piles, or windrow burning activities
