River Valley fire ban in effect

Effective immediately and until further notice, a fire ban is in place for all open fires in the City of Lethbridge River Valley. 

The city says sustained warm temperatures, high winds and a lack of moisture have created a high risk of fast-moving, uncontrolled fires. Officials note that even a small spark can quickly spread in dry grass and brush. 

Residents and visitors are asked to use extra caution. Do not light any open fires and ensure smoking materials are fully extinguished and disposed of safely.
