Fire Restriction in Saddle Hills County - September 19, 2025

As a result of higher temperatures and drying conditions, the Fire Danger Rating in Saddle Hills County has changed from HIGH to VERY HIGH.

As of May 1, 2025, the Fire Advisory in Saddle Hills County has been upgraded to a FIRE RESTRICTION. The County of Grande Prairie No. 1 and the Grande Prairie Forest Area also have Fire Restrictions in effect.

Controlled burning in the Non-Forest Protection Area, including on privately-owned land, is now limited to campfires and burning barrels. Large fuel burns will not be permitted at this time.

To check for current Fire Advisories, Restrictions, and Bans, visit Alberta Fire Bans. 

To check the current Fire Danger Rating, visit Alberta Wildfire. 

This FIRE RESTRICTION will remain in place until conditions improve.
