Do you know the difference between a Fire Ban, Fire Restriction and Fire Advisory?

Depending on the conditions, the County of Grande Prairie uses the following tiered system to temporarily limit activities that may lead to wildfires. Fire advisories, restrictions or bans are put into place to help reduce human-caused wildfires. Grab a pen and paper and take notes!

Fire Advisory: The fire danger rating has increased, and fire permits may be restricted. Safe campfires are allowed in campgrounds and backcountry or random camping areas, but this level is a warning that they may be restricted if the situation doesn't improve.

Fire Restriction: A fire restriction prohibits using wood campfires on public land but does allow them inside provincial campgrounds and private property in an approved fire pit. Fire permits may be restricted, suspended, or cancelled, and no new permits will be issued.

Fire Ban: A fire ban prohibits wood campfires on public land, campgrounds, and private land, including backyard fire pits. Fire permits will be suspended or cancelled, and no new permits will be issued.

No Restriction: Normal burning rules apply.

During the hotter, dryer months, always remain vigilant and report any signs of smoke by calling 9-1-1.

Details and any updates to advisories in place are available at: https://loom.ly/_w6Rdp4
