Fire Permits
Fire permits are required year-round for all types of open burning in the County of St. Paul.
Open burning includes activities such as burning brush piles, burning in barrels or open pits, and other fires where smoke is released into the open air.
There is no fee for a fire permit.
County fire permits are issued online, so you do not need to visit the County Administration Office or the Town of Elk Point Office to apply.

Receive Your Permit

Before You Burn
Once you have your Fire Permit, you must contact Bonnyville 911 Dispatch Service at 780-826-7446 before lighting your fire.
Approved Fire Permits are also subject to Provincial or Local Fire Bans. A Fire Ban suspends or cancels Fire Permits, so always check current fire conditions before you burn.
