FIRE ADVISORY IN EFFECT

Effective 10:30 AM on October 28, 2025

Smoky Lake County is downgrading the current fire restriction to a FIRE ADVISORY.

During this Fire Advisory:

• New fire permits will be issued for essential burning only and may require an inspection prior to approval.
• Fireworks permits may be issued on a case-by-case basis.
• Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs) can start wildfires. Please check your OHV frequently to ensure hotspots are free of debris and that mufflers and spark arrestors are functioning properly.
• Burning barrels are permitted if they are well-maintained and in good working condition.
• Barrels must be covered with a metal mesh screen with openings no larger than 6mm (1/4").
• Barrels must be placed at least 100 feet away from any structures or standing timber.
• A 10-foot non-combustible perimeter around the barrel is maintained.

Please remain cautious when burning or having a fire and never leave a campfire unattended. Ensure the fire is completely extinguished. Soak it, stir it, soak it again. Repeat as necessary. Ashes should be cool to touch. 

For further information please contact Smoky Lake County at 780-656-3730.
