Fire Bans

Fire bans for most of northern Alberta, County of GP excluded

May 17, 2019 | 12:19 PM

Campfires, unauthorized burning and off-highway vehicles are banned on public lands throughout most of northern Alberta because of wildfire concerns.

The fire and OHV ban extends from Lac La Biche up to north of Fort McMurray, west to north of Slave Lake, west to Peace River, and then north to the Northwest Territories border. That does not include the County of Grande Prairie or the M.D. of Greenview.

A real-time map showing where fire bans and fire advisories are in place can be found here.

Essential industry-related activities requiring the use of off-highway vehicles can be exempt with the approval of a local forest officer.
