The Town of Sylvan Lake has issued an immediate fire ban due to dry and windy conditions.
The ban includes incinerators (for farm and acreage use), camp stoves, solid fuel barbecues (charcoal briquettes), recreational camp fires, and chimeneas.
Exemptions include internal household fireplaces and liquid fuel barbecues (propane and natural gas).
The ban will be in effect until Sylvan Lake Fire Department determines otherwise.
