Fire Restriction Now In Effect

Due to the increased levels of precipitation and cooler weather conditions forecasted this week, the Drayton Valley/Brazeau County Fire Services has reduced the Fire Ban status to a Fire Restriction for the area of Brazeau County and the Town of Drayton Valley — effective Thursday, May 15, 2025 at 8:00am.

A Fire Restriction occurs when the fire hazard in the area remains high to very high. Wildfires can start easily from most causes, and may become serious and difficult to control if not successfully contained while small.

❗Outdoor burning is only permitted in approved fire pits and/or burning appliances
❗Existing fire permits are still valid (no permit extensions will be issued)
❗No new fire permits will be issued until the Fire Restriction is lifted

Allowed:
✅ Safe wood campfires in approved fire pits
✅ Portable propane fire pits
✅ Gas or propane stoves and barbecues
✅ Charcoal and pellet barbeques
✅ Catalytic or infrared-style heater
✅ Approved and certified incinerators (for agricultural use)

Visit www.albertafirebans.ca/ for an up-to-date fire status or contact the Drayton Valley/Brazeau County Fire Services at 780-514-2216 during regular business hours.
