A Fire Restriction is now in effect for Kneehill County, due to continued dry conditions.
- Under a fire restriction, safe campfires are allowed in fire rings only.
- Gas or propane stoves/barbeques and portable propane fire pits are also allowed.
- Current fire permits may be suspended or cancelled, and no new fire permits will be issued. If the situation continues to worsen, Kneehill County will put on a fire ban.
- As the fire restriction also applies to burn pits, Kneehill County’s Torrington and Linden Transfer Sites are temporarily unable to accept burn pit materials until the fire restriction is lifted. Thank you for your understanding.
Please note: This restriction only applies to Kneehill County. The Towns of Three Hills and Trochu, and the Villages of Acme, Carbon, and Linden will have their own restrictions, if any. Please call their offices or visit their websites for details in their jurisdictions.
Thank you for your cooperation.
