ALBERTA – The fire ban and OHV restrictions will no longer be in effect in portions of southern and southwestern Alberta.
Wetter and cooler weather in the southern part of the province has reduced fire hazards.
Municipalities that originally fell under the province wide fire ban may still choose to enact their own fire bans, restrictions or advisories.
In the parts of Alberta where the fire ban is still in effect, portable propane fire pits and gas or propane stoves and barbecues designed for cooking or heating are allowed. Until further notice, all open fires are still prohibited and all fire permits remain suspended. Officials will not issue new permits.
