Fire Restriction in Effect

Due to the increasingly dry conditions, the FIRE ADVISORY has been upgraded to a FIRE RESTRICTION, for Saddle Hills County. 

Prohibited

Open campfires in back country or random areas, fireworks and exploding targets on crown land, brush and debris burning for non-agricultural purposes, controlled burns of brush piles greater than 2 cubic meters in size

Allowed with Caution

Campfires in non-combustible, manufactured firepits, charcoal briquettes in approved barbeques, portable propane firepits, gas or propane stoves and barbeques, catalytic or infrared style heaters, wood fires in an enclosed facility or device, which has a chimney with a spark arrestor, burning barrels that are a minimum distance of 30 m away from structures and 6 m away from combustible materials.

 

Hand-piled agricultural brush and debris burning that is less than 2 cubic meters in size is allowed, if it is in a cultivated field or another fire guard is in place, a Fire Suppression Plan is in place, and Municipal Notification Requirements have been met

Internet and Cell Service

Our Utility Communications Network (UCN) consists of a series of high quality CSA certified towers that can accommodate multiple service providers. It is an open market and technology neutral model where wireless service providers, including private enterprise, may become tenants on the towers without having to invest in the tower infrastructure.
