FIRE BAN IN EFFECT | Lacombe County has upgraded the current Fire Advisory to a Fire Ban due to several recent large fires, a continued lack of moisture, and persistent windy conditions.

“The anticipated moisture we expected in late October never arrived,” said Dave Bain, Manager of Fire & Emergency Services. “Now it’s time for us to ensure the safety of our residents and put a ban on burning until further notice.”

Effective immediately, a complete fire ban is in effect, and no fireworks permits will be issued.
