Effective immediately and until further notice, a fire ban is in place for all open fires in the City of Lethbridge River Valley.

Current conditions, including warmer temperatures and low humidity, have created a high risk for fast-moving and uncontrolled fires. Even a small spark can quickly spread in dry grass and brush.

Residents and visitors are asked to use extra caution. Do not light any open fires and ensure smoking materials are fully extinguished and disposed of safely.
