Effective May 12, 2023 at 1200 hours, Camrose County is enacting a Restricted FIRE BAN.  

This Restricted Fire Ban:

1. Suspends all existing fire permits and prohibits the issuance of any new permits.  All existing open burns must be extinguished.
2. Prohibits the discharge of Fireworks

• burning barrels equipped with a metal mesh screen
• safe wood campfires in approved fire pits on private lands and in campgrounds
• portable propane fire pits
• gas or propane stoves and barbeques

Off-Highway Vehicles can start wildfires – check frequently to ensure hotspots are free of debris and make sure mufflers and spark arrestors are working properly. 

Never leave a campfire unattended. Soak it, stir it and soak it again until cool to the touch to ensure it is extinguished.

This Fire Restriction will remain in effect until further notice.
