Get a permit
During wildfire season, a fire permit is required in the Forest Protection Area for all burning except campfires. Permits help us track where burning projects are happening and outline conditions for a safe burn. Request your free fire permit online or contact the High Level Forest Area office at 780-841-0132.
Prevent wildfires
Campfire safety
Abandoned campfires cause many fires every year in Alberta and are completely preventable. Never leave a campfire unattended and always fully extinguish it when you are done.
Off-highway vehicle safety
When riding an off-highway vehicle (OHV) stop often and remove the debris that accumulates on your machine. Dry grass that is heated by your exhaust can start a wildfire when it falls to the ground.
