The Beaver County Region, including all towns, villages and hamlets therein, are now under a Fire Advisory. Although most of the region has had some precipitation, some areas remain at high fire risk.
Fire permits shall be issued on a case-by-case basis after review.
Campfires with screens in approved devices and approved burn barrels are still allowed without a permit.
Residents should also exercise caution when engaging in activities that could provide an unintended ignition source (welding, grinding, ATV use, etc.).
Fire officials will continue to monitor conditions. A fire restriction or ban may be issued without further notice. BESC will update the public of any change at www.besc.ca and www.albertafirebans.ca.
