Fire Restriction in Effect

Effective as of 3:30 p.m. on May 17, 2024, Saddle Hills County has downgraded the FIRE BAN to a FIRE RESTRICTION, which means campfires and other small fires will be allowed in approved fire pits, burn barrels, and enclosures. This only applies to areas outside of the Forest Protection Area.

The FIRE BAN by Alberta Forestry for the Grande Prairie Forest Protection Area remains in place over the long weekend. This means campfires are not allowed in the Forest Protection Area, which includes Cotillion, Hilltop, and Spring Lake Campgrounds. www.albertafirebans.ca

Alberta Parks is also maintaining their FIRE BAN over the weekend, so campfires will not be permitted at Moonshine Lake Provincial Park and Dunvegan Provincial Park. www.albertaparks.ca/albertaparksca/advisories-public-safety/fire-bans

There is no ATV ban at this time.

Emergency Test Alert Today: Emergency Preparedness Week

Today at 11:55 a.m., the National Public Alerting System will issue a test message to Alberta through TV, Radio, and directly to compatible and connected smartphones.
 
During the test, an alert sound will go off with a message to the cellphone user confirming there is no need for concern. The test is not just a test of the National Alerting system. It is an opportunity for all of us to test our own readiness to respond.
 
When you receive the alert, take a moment to reflect on how prepared you would have been if that alert were real. Tonight, go home and ask your household about where they were when the alert went off and how ready they would have been.
 
Having a conversation about preparedness is one step to becoming more prepared. Learn how you can use the emergency alert to become more prepared.
