The Fire Restriction in Lethbridge County has been lifted. Cooler temperatures and moisture over the week have decreased the risk of fire spread.
Fire permits can once again be applied for online.
Looking ahead to the coming weekend, temperatures are forecast to be hot with little to no precipitation. We anticipate that we may need to re-activate the Fire Restriction later this week.
Updates to the Fire Status are posted on our website and social media channels (Facebook, X and Instagram). You can sign up to receive emails as well.
The County encourages everyone to consider if they are prepared for emergencies this wildfire season. We have already seen communities evacuated this spring from approaching wildfires. There are a few simple steps to take to be ready for these kinds of situations:
- Download the Alberta Emergency Alert app to receive live-saving notifications to your phone
- Keeping vehicles fuelled up in case of an evacuation
- Adding one thing to your emergency kit each time you go shopping
The County thanks everyone for their cooperation in keeping the region safe from wildfires
