Brazeau County

If you see a fire burning out of control, the first call should be to the Fire Department and then contact one of the Fire Guardians listed below.

Fire Permits are required for all controlled burns. By obtaining a fire permit, you have simply indicated your wish to burn. You are not absolved of any responsibility for conducting a safe burn. Contravention of the Forest and Prairie Protection Act by refusing or neglecting to comply with the regulations, or a permit condition may result in prosecution. You may be liable to a fine of up to $1,000 and in addition, you could be liable for all resulting damage and suppression costs.

If you have a hold-over fire from the winter, you still require a permit for it after March 1st. If you use a barrel for burning garbage, or if you are clearing land and burning brush pile or windrows, please follow the minimum safety and equipment requirements. Call your Fire Guardian for information and permits.

Changes to the fire by-law are coming soon, please watch for future announcements.
