Fire Restrictions

**NOTICE**

Effective 9:00AM, Friday May 30, 2025, The County of Two Hills has upgraded to a FIRE RESTRICTION.

Under the Fire Restriction, no permits will be issued until a significant amount of precipitation is received. ALL FIRE PERMITS ARE SUSPENDED!

What is allowed

• Recreational fires ONLY! (campfires, backyard fire pits, charcoal briquette BBQ's,  and outdoor fireplaces)
• Propane or natural gas appliances (i.e., barbeques, stoves, heaters and portable firepits), for the purpose of heating or cooking are allowed, but must be CSA approved or UL certified.
• All Terrain Vehicles are permitted on private land.

What is not allowed

• NO burning in a burn barrel or incinerator, fireworks and exploding targets are prohibited, brush piles, or other out door burning requiring a fire permit.

Burning or lighting a fire during a Fire Restriction contrary to what is allowed is illegal, and fines or cost of response could apply. A person who willfully sets an open fire, or any fire not allowed under this order, may be charged under the Forest and Prairie Protection Act. If the person is the owner or occupant of the land on which the fire is set, those costs may be recovered by placing the costs on the tax roll and recovering them in the same manner as taxes.
