Fire Advisory lifted, effective May 15

St. Paul County – Effective 3 p.m., the County of St. Paul has lifted the Level 2 Fire Advisory issued on May 11 and is no longer under any fire restrictions. This means:

• Safe wood campfires are allowed on private land and in campgrounds.
• Any open-air fire other than a safe wood campfire requires a fire permit.

Where is the Fire Advisory lifted?

The lifted restrictions apply to all areas within the County of St. Paul, including campgrounds.

If you reside in the Town of St. Paul, the Town of Elk Point, or the Summer Village of Horseshoe Bay, please refer to their websites, as their municipalities have the authority over their own fire restrictions.

What has changed?

The County will resume issuing fire permits as normal.

What is allowed?

Wood campfires held safely on private land and in campgrounds. Residents are asked to ensure their campfires are attended to at all times and completely extinguished when finished.

If you have any questions, you may direct enquiries to the County of St. Paul at 780-645-3301 or St. Paul Fire Services at 780-645-4100.
