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.

Emergency Preparedness Week

By Saddle Hills County - April 30, 2025

May 4-10, 2025 is Emergency Preparedness Week! Emergency Preparedness Week is an annual, nationwide event to encourage Canadians to become better prepared for emergencies. 

Throughout the week we will be sharing tips, tricks, and resources to ensure you are prepared when faced with an emergency situation. 

Get ready for emergencies and disasters by taking simple steps now. To be prepared, you need to know what to do, where to go, and have enough supplies for a week or more. Supplies include food, water, medications, and important documents, and should also include supplies for your pets as well.

Preparing in advance can keep you safe and comfortable, and help you get back to your normal life and work more quickly. It also helps others as it allows emergency responders to focus on helping those who need it the most.
