Fire Advisory Updated (May 20, 2025)

As a result of the recent moisture, Ponoka County Regional Fire Services has amended the fire advisory for all areas in their response area. Open burn and fireworks permits will be approved on a case-by-case basis only.  Unfortunately not all areas of Ponoka County experienced the same amount of rainfall.   

The use of backyard fire pits, BBQ, burning barrels with a screen, incinerators (for farm and acreage use), smokers and gas powered appliances are not affected at this time. Residents are encouraged to refrain from non-essential burning or activities which may result in a fire (eg. fireworks/exploding targets).
