FIRE SEASON STARTS MARCH 1st

CHECK YOUR WINTER BURNS

You can help prevent a spring wildfire by checking your winter burn sites and ensuring they are extinguished. Winter fires can smolder under the snow all winter and emerge as a wildfire in the spring when conditions are warm and dry. When checking your winter burns, spread around any remaining debris and dig deep into the ashes to check for heat. A fire is not extinguished until there is absolutely no heat emanating from the ashes. Soak it, Stir it and Soak it again!

BURN IT WITH A PERMIT

All fires in the forest protection area, excluding campfires, require a permit. For your FREE fire permit and information regarding safe burning practices please contact the High Level Wildfire Management Area at 780-926-5407. Please call in advance and leave a detailed message with your name, home location, burn location, what you plan to burn and the date and time you need the burn permit for.
