DUNMORE, AB — Cypress County has put a fire restriction in place until further notice.
The order, which came into affect Monday, restricts all open fires, including fireworks, until further notice. The order cancels all current fire permits, and no new ones will be issued.
The only fires permitted at this time include internal fire places, solid and liquid fuel barbecues, wood pellet smokers, burning barrels and fires contained within approved facilities and appliances in designated camping and recreational areas.
The county has said the current restriction will not be lifted until the county’s Fire Permit Bylaw is updated by Emergency Services Management and approved by Cypress County council.
