FIRE BAN LIFTED | Thanks to the moisture from the recent snow, we have removed the Fire Ban and all fire restrictions in Lacombe County. While this change reflects improved conditions, residents are urged to exercise extreme caution and prioritize fire prevention at all times.

Effective Nov. 3, a complete fire ban is in effect, and no fireworks permits will be issued. We have upgraded the current Fire Advisory to a Fire Ban due to several recent large fires, a continued lack of moisture, & persistent windy conditions. More at https://t.co/hwyfDYlGxx.

Lacombe County Council has appointed John Ireland (Div. 1) as Reeve and Dwayne West (Div. 4) as Deputy Reeve for a one-year term. Congratulations to both leaders as they continue to serve residents and guide the County’s success! 🔗 https://t.co/3wwEVSnF2P
