The City of Grande Prairie has joined the County in issuing a fire advisory due to the recent hot, dry conditions in the region.
As of July 9th at noon, fire permits for open burning and fireworks will no longer be issued, existing permits are suspended, and new fire permits will be issued on a “case-by-case basis, for “light burning” only.
Under the advisory, the use of safe wood campfires, backyard fire pits, portable propane fire pits, gas-powered stoves and barbecues, and catalytic heaters are still permitted.
The fire advisory will remain in effect until conditions cool off, and residents are encouraged to exercise caution and adhere to the guidelines to prevent unnecessary risk.
