Fire Advisory issued for River Valley

Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services wants to wish the community a happy and healthy holiday season, but is urging caution when using open flames as lack of precipitation and dry conditions continue in the city.

A Fire Advisory has been issued, effective immediately for all City of Lethbridge parks in the River Valley area. This advisory has been put in place to inform residents of the current wildfire risks within our River Valley parks.

Under the advisory, recreational fires are allowed in the fire pits provided, as are propane-fueled cooking appliances. Residents are asked that all smoking material be disposed of properly.

Lethbridge Fire & EMS will be monitoring the fire risk conditions and make changes when necessary. If conditions worsen, the Fire Advisory may progress to a Restriction or Fire Ban at any time.

The City’s webpage will be updated with Fire Ban information if the situation changes.
