The City of Grande Prairie has issued a fire ban as extreme fire conditions continue to keep the region very dry.
A ban means all outdoor fires are prohibited including Recreational fire pits, fires using charcoal briquettes, and any fires in County-operated parks and campgrounds. The ban also extends to things like open pit burning, burning barrels, brush piles and crop stubble as well as fireworks or exploding targets.
The use of propane appliances, such as barbecues, is permitted. The municipality’s fire ban is running in conjunction with a similar ban spanning the entire County of Grande Prairie.
