As a result of the current ground and weather conditions and the projected forecast, the County of Stettler has moved to a FIRE ADVISORY effective 17:00 on September 8, 2026.

The following are the limitations on burning at this time:
1. NEW PERMITS will be issued for a 5-day period for small brush piles [no larger than 3M (10 feet) wide by 2M (6 feet 6 inches) high].
2. Windrows and large brush piles are prohibited while the fire advisory is in effect.
3. ALLOWS ESSENTIAL BURNING in burning barrels that are constructed of non-combustible material that have a tight-fitting metal mesh screen with openings not larger than 13 mm.
4. ALLOWS for safe wood campfires on public lands.
5. Abide by the requirements of the municipal by-laws, Forest and Prairie Protection Act and the Substance Release Regulation.
6. Winds must be less than 10km per hour, and one adult must be in attendance.
7. Consideration must be given to neighbours to avoid physical discomfort as a result of burning.

This FIRE ADVISORY does not apply to:
• Fires, which are contained within cooking and heating appliances, and which are fueled by propane, natural gas, charcoal briquette or wood pellets
• Residential fire pits and safe wood campfires contained by non-combustible material with a metal mesh screen with openings no larger than 13 mm.
• Fires contained within industrial facilities for operational purposes
• Catalytic or infrared-style heaters
• Open flame oil devices (eg. Tiki torches)

Residents are reminded that all brush piles and/or permitted debris piles must be buried under ground and covered with soil when burning is complete to ensure the fire cannot re-kindle.

Conditions will be monitored. We will update the public on any changes.
