Cypress County has lifted its fire ban and downgraded to a fire advisory on Monday, following the latest wildfire data from Alberta Wildfire.

The change is in accordance with the County’s Bylaw 2023/06.

Under the advisory, recreational campfires, charcoal barbecues, household fireplaces and propane or natural gas appliances are now permitted.

Wood pellet smokers, incinerators, burning barrels and chimeneas are also allowed.

Fireworks remain prohibited while the advisory is in effect.

Cypress County says it continues to monitor conditions daily and will provide updates as wildfire conditions change.

Residents are encouraged to check the County’s website for the current fire control order and information on permitted fire types.
