FIre Ban in Effect
24 APRIL 2024 0800 am
Due to increasing wildfire risk, and early fire activity in the region, a complete Fire Ban is now in effect for the Summer Village of Island Lake and all fires must be extinguished.
Under this Ban:
- The issuance of new fire permits is prohibited.
- The lighting of outdoor fires is prohibited.
Including all open fires, campfires, fires used for cooking, briquette barbecues, burning barrels, chimeneas and portable wood burning fire pits. - The discharge of fireworks and use of exploding targets is prohibited.
For greater clarity, this Restriction does not include:
- Fires which are contained in CSA approved cooking appliances which are fueled by liquid fuel (propane, natural gas, or camping fuel) such as Barbecues or Camping Stoves;
- Internal household fireplaces with approved spark arrester or screen used to prevent sparks from leaving the chimney;
- CSA approved portable fire pits and radiant heaters which are fueled solely by liquid fuel; and
- Electrically operated pellet smokers where combustion is contained within an engineered firebox.
