ATHABASCA – Athabasca County residents can break out the marshmallows and hot dogs following a couple of rainy weeks.
Effective 10 a.m. May 23, Athabasca County’s Fire Control Order has been lifted for areas outside of the Fire Protection Area (FPA).
County spokesperson Jordan Schenkelberg reminded residents and visitors to practice safe burning practices, adding that fireworks and exploding targets are still prohibited on public lands year-round.
All open burning, expect for fires contained within bylaw complaint fire pits, require a permit issued by Athabasca County. The Lac La Biche FPA has also lifted its fire advisory.
