Back to SearchLacombe County Fire Service reminds residents that although fire permits are not required between November 1 and February 28, there are still crucial safety expectations for any controlled burns conducted outside of the official fire season.
“Any burning must be done in a safe and controlled manner. We all must practice responsible burning all year long, even if fire permits aren’t required,” said Dave Bain, Manager of Fire and Emergency Services. “Lacombe County reserves the right to invoice residents for fire department responses to fires that are not compliant with these regulations.”
“We want to emphasize that no garbage of any sort can be burned, regardless of the time of year,” emphasized Bain. “We have easily accessible landfills for anyone who needs to properly dispose of their garbage, ensuring that our air, water and land doesn’t become contaminated from burning garbage.”
Anyone caught burning garbage will be fined as follows: $250 for a first offence, $500 for a second offence, and $1000 for a third offence.
For questions or to confirm that your burn complies with safety guidelines, please contact Lacombe County at 403-782-8959. Let’s work together to ensure a safe and responsible community, even when permits aren’t required. Thank you for your cooperation.
