EFFECTIVE April 10, 2024 at 10:00 am 

The Municipal District of Greenview has declared a Fire Ban for the Non-Forest Protection Areas (Non-FPA) directly outside of the Town of Valleyview and the Hamlets of DeBolt and Ridgevalley (see maps below).

The Fire Ban replaces the Fire Advisory issued on April 3, 2024. The Fire Ban is necessary due to the continued dry conditions and the lack of snow cover in the area.

Burning is NOT permitted except:

  • Recreational fire pits, burn barrels, propane/natural gas, or electrically powered cooking, heating and lighting appliances.
  • Barbecues and smokers that use solid fuels (wood chips or pellets, charcoal briquettes, etc.)
  • Indoor wood fired contained within a device with a chimney and spark arrestor.

Extreme caution must be exercised in windy or gusty conditions.

Please ensure that any smoking materials, such as cigarettes, are completely extinguished and placed in a suitable receptacle rather than discarded along a trail, sidewalk, or roadway.

Residents are also encouraged to check any previously burned brush piles to ensure they are completely extinguished.
