As a result of the high temperatures and drying conditions, the Fire Danger Rating in Saddle Hills County is now HIGH.
In response to this, Saddle Hills County has issued a FIRE ADVISORY, along with other local municipalities.
Controlled burning in the Non-Forest Protection Area, including on privately-owned land, is now limited to campfires, burning barrels, and hand-piled wood, two cubic metres or smaller.
Burn permits are still required and will be issued on a case-by-case basis. Large fuel burns will not be permitted at this time.

The Fire Advisory will remain in effect until conditions improve.
