Fire Advisory in Effect - May 20, 2025

As of May 20, 2025, at 2 p.m., Saddle Hills County has downgraded the Fire Ban to a FIRE ADVISORY.

This Fire Advisory is in place for all non-Forest Protection Areas. A Fire Ban remains in place for the Grande Prairie Forest Area, which includes Cotillion Park, Hilltop Lake, and Spring Lake campgrounds. 

Controlled burning in the Non-Forest Protection Area, including on privately-owned land, is limited to campfires, burning barrels, and hand-piled wood, two cubic metres or smaller.

Burn permits are still required and will be issued on a case-by-case basis. Large fuel burns will not be permitted at this time.

The Fire Advisory will remain in effect until conditions improve.
