Due to the dry conditions and hotter than average temperatures, Red Deer County has implemented a fire ban throughout the entire County.

The County requires that:

 All outdoor fires presently burning within Red Deer County whether set with permission or under permit of the County, be extinguished immediately, and

 The ignition of any outdoor fires within the boundaries of Red Deer County are hereby prohibited. This ban DOES NOT apply to:

 Fires, which are contained within cooking and heating appliances and which are fuelled by fluids, gases or charcoal briquettes.

 Fires contained within industrial facilities for operational purposes.

 Propane fueled fire pits

Red Deer County thanks residents for their cooperation.
