The MD of Greenview is joining most of the Peace Region in downgrading the previously implemented Fire Ban to a Fire Advisory for its communities.
Residents in the communities of Valleyview, Ridgevalley, DeBolt, and outside the Forest Protection Areas within the MD are advised that safe wood campfires will be allowed provided they are within a metal, brick, or rock containment ring.
Fires must be on rock, gravel, sand, or any non-combustible surface that extends one metre around the flames.
Additionally, those who choose to burn must have a responsible person in attendance to keep the fire under control at all times and extinguish it before leaving and must have enough water on-site to extinguish the fire.
The MD has also provided a list of safe practices for residents to safely burn brush, vegetation, or debris on their property to ensure no preventable fires burn out of control.
