Fire Advisory - August 11, 2025

Saddle Hills County has downgraded the Fire Restriction to a FIRE ADVISORY. A Fire Advisory is also in effect for the Grande Prairie Forest Area. 

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.

To check for Fire Advisories, Fire Restrictions and Fire Bans, visit albertafirebans.ca

The Fire Advisory will remain in effect until conditions improve.

Never Miss an Update: Saddle Hills County Mobile App Launched

By Saddle Hills County - August 07, 2025

Download the new Saddle Hills County app on your mobile device or tablet and never miss another update.

Saddle Hills County is excited to announce the launch of our new mobile app, allowing you easy on-the-go access to the information you need, right at your fingertips. 

View the latest County news stories, get information on programs and initiatives, peruse job openings, download and view County maps, complete forms, and more, in a streamlined and easy-to-use format.

How to get the app:

  1. Download: Visit the App Store or Google Play Store and search 'Saddle Hills County'.
  2. Register: Fill out your information and check your email to verify your account. 
  3. Log In: Get the latest news updates, events, job postings, maps, forms, and more, right at your fingertips!

Please note, while you will be prompted to create an account when you download the app, you don’t have to. The upside to creating an account is that you can view all app content and choose to receive notifications directly to your device when an update, event etc. is added. If you choose not to create an account, you will only be able to see the latest 25 ‘posts’ and will not be directly notified of any new information.

While our website will continue to be updated and contain all the information you could ever need on Saddle Hills County, the mobile app will offer a streamlined experience, with only the most up-to-date news stories and events, and most commonly accessed documents and information.

If you have any questions about the new app, please reach out to us, we'd love to hear from you!
