The MD of Greenview has issued a Fire Advisory for the areas of the MD of Greenview outside of the Forest Protection Area (Greenview Non-Forest Protection Area)
Due to above-average temperatures, a lack of snowfall, and continued dry conditions, the Municipal District of Greenview has issued a Fire Advisory.
Despite the time of year, dry vegetation and unseasonably warm temperatures continue to create conditions where fires can spread quickly.
While fire permits are not required after November 1 within either the Forest Protection Area (FPA) or Greenview’s non-FPA areas, residents are reminded to exercise caution when conducting any outdoor burning.
Safe Burning Practices:
- Avoid burning when winds exceed 12 km/h.
- Always have an adequate water supply and firefighting tools readily available.
- Never leave burn piles or outdoor fires unattended.
- Ensure adequate separation between burn piles and nearby vegetation, structures, and combustible materials.
- Monitor weather conditions before and during burning.
- Ensure all fires are completely extinguished before leaving the area.
Residents are reminded that they are responsible for any fires they ignite and may be held liable for damages or firefighting costs resulting from an escaped fire.
Greenview Fire-Rescue Services encourages residents to postpone any unnecessary burning until conditions improve.
This Fire Advisory will remain in effect until conditions improve and it is rescinded.
