City of North Battleford rescinds fire ban

Due to the recent precipitation and upcoming weather forecast in the Battlefords region, the City of North Battleford’s Department of Protective Services has rescinded the fire ban effective today. The City’s fire ban was initially issued on May 2, 2023.       

In order to initiate any open-air burns or to use a fire pit on your property, the North Battleford Fire Department does require a permit. Permits are provided after Fire Department personnel complete an inspection to ensure that fires are burned in a way that minimizes the risk of fire spreading to surrounding property and structures, and reduces overall harm.       

To apply for a fire permit, visit https://www.cityofnb.ca/community-safety-support/protective-and-emergency-services/fire-department/fire-permits/.
