Please be advised that Parkland County's Fire Hazard Level has been updated to Fire Restriction, effective May 17 at 3 p.m.

  • Fire hazard conditions are at a level where fires can start and grow quickly. No open burning fires or major burn operations are allowed.
  • Safe, recreational fires in approved fire pits, burn barrels/incinerators with screens, as well as gas/propane stoves, barbeques and fire bowls are allowed.
  • Major burn, outdoor fire, and consumer fireworks permits are cancelled at this time, and no new permits will be issued. 

Using a Fire Pit? Know the Rules:

  • 3m clearance from structures and combustibles
  • Max 0.6m high / 1.5m wide
  • non-combustible construction only
  • on bare ground or non-combustible base

Supervise your fire at all times and completely extinguish your fire when finished.
