While yesterday's snowfall may not have been welcomed with open arms, the moisture has helped to lessen the fire risk in Rocky View County (RVC). 

Due to improving conditions in the area, Rocky View County Fire Services has lifted its Fire Ban.

Effective immediately, RVC Fire Services says that there are no fire advisories or bans for the County, and permit burning is once again allowed. 

Officials remind residents that it's always necessary to follow safe burning practices.

They say that while the fire ban has been lifted in the County, there may still be advisories or bans in neighbouring municipalities.
