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
