Fire Advisory in Effect
Due to current dry conditions and anticipated winds, a FIRE ADVISORY is now in effect for Kneehill County.
Burn permits may be applied for; however, due to varying conditions throughout the County, Fire Guardians may deny permit applications.
Please continue to use extreme caution and follow all fire safety guidelines.
Under a Fire Advisory:
- Campfires, backyard fires, and charcoal briquettes are allowed.
- New burn permits will be issued on a case-by-case basis.
- If conditions worsen, a Fire Restriction or Fire Ban may be instated.
Prohibited:
Any burning without a valid fire permit, other than a campfire, is prohibited.
The Burn Pits at Kneehill County’s Torrington and Linden Transfer Sites may be impacted by the Fire Advisory, depending on burn permit approval.
Please call ahead to the Transfer Sites to see if they are accepting materials for burning before you go.
Torrington: 403-443-9476, and Linden: 587-321-0217.
NOTE: This Fire Advisory only applies to Kneehill County and the hamlets within (Sunnyslope, Huxley, Torrington, Wimborne, and Swalwell). The Town of Trochu, the Town of Three Hills, and the Villages of Acme, Carbon, and Linden will have their own advisory or restrictions, if any. Please call their offices or visit their websites for details in their jurisdictions.
