The City of St. Albert has issued a Fire Advisory that is effective immediately and will last until further notice. The advisory has been issued due to dry, windy and increased fire conditions.

Permitted fires are still allowed, but a restriction or ban may be issued if conditions worsen. We are asking that everyone do their part in reducing the risk.

•  Please be cautious when enjoying a private firepit.
• All wood burning firepits must be permitted and used in compliance with the Fire Services Bylaw.
• Wood burning firepits must always be used with a screen spark arrestor. 
• Firepits must be fully extinguished before leaving unattended.
