Fire Hazard Index

Fire bans, restrictions, and advisories, are essential tools to help prevent human-caused wildfires. When fire hazard levels are activated, the Fire Hazard Index table above provides clear guidance on what activities are temporarily limited or prohibited during a Fire Ban, Fire Restriction, or Fire Advisory, as well as what is allowed when no restrictions are in place. This page also includes information on the current Fire Hazard Level and the date and time it was last updated.

Check Alberta Fire Bans

Before heading out, check the Alberta Fire Bans website to see if a fire ban or restriction is in place in the area you plan to visit. If you spot a wildfire, report it immediately by calling 310-FIRE.
