Fire Permits
Fire permits help us to track what is burning on the landscape. If you're burning without a fire permit or outside fire permit conditions, your fire is considered a wildfire. By getting a fire permit you help keep our firefighters free to fight real wildfires instead of responding to the smoke in your backyard.
To request a free fire permit call 310-0000 to be connected to your local Alberta Agriculture and Forestry Office.
Keep up to date on the wildfire situation by subscribing to the Rocky Forest Area wildfire update or download the Alberta Wildfire app for Apple or Android devices.
