Fire Advisory in Effect

As a result of the lower outside temperatures, Saddle Hills County has downgraded the FIRE RESTRICTION to a FIRE ADVISORY.

Under this Advisory, Burn Permits will be issued on a case-by-case basis and only for essential purposes.

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, and burning of hand-piled agricultural brush and wood debris (max 2 cubic meters) are allowed, with caution.

Burning barrel use is also permitted at a minimum distance of 30m away from structures and 6m away from combustible materials. Off Highway Vehicles are also permitted.

Open campfires in back country or random areas, fireworks and exploding targets on crown land, burning of larger (machine-piled) wooden debris, and controlled burns of larger brush piles or windrows are NOT ALLOWED.
