Rocky View County has implemented a fire ban effective immediately.

Weather, wind, and moisture conditions have created a high risk of fire. The ban will remain in effect as long as high risk conditions remain.

During a fire ban, all burning permits are suspended, and burning is banned, including the use of backyard firepits.

There are some exceptions:

  • Internal household fireplaces
  • Camp stoves (properly attended)
  • Propane/natural gas barbecues
  • Propane/natural gas fire pit
  • Solid fuel barbecues (charcoal briquettes)
  • Wood pellet grills
  • Oil well flaring (registration required -- call 403.264.1022)
