Not Permitted:Open fires (brush, bonfires, etc.)
Burn barrels
Fireworks
Fire pits or chimineas
Solid fuel barbecues and smokers (charcoal, pellets, etc.) without an on/off switch
Permitted:Cooking and recreational appliances with a switch or valve for on/off control (fire table, electric smoker, pellet, propane, or natural gas barbecues)

If operating an OHV on private lands, be EXTREMELY diligent. Make sure to clear debris like dried
Β grasses and leaves from hot parts of the vehicle, such as the muffler, exhaust, under the seat, wheel wells, engine, and manifold. Avoid driving through tall grass. Stay aware of your surroundings and have firefighting equipment and water readily available. Remember, equipment fires, sparks, friction, and hot exhaust can ignite even small amounts of dry fuel, potentially causing wildfires that spread rapidly.
Please be reminded to take extra precautions with anything you do that may cause a spark and or a fire. For more detailed information, visit the Government of Alberta Website:
