Heads up, Edmonton.
A FIRE BAN is now in effect as dry, windy and hot conditions are creating a recipe for fire nastiness. #yeg #yegcc #yegwx

Fire ban in Edmonton means no:
open burning
fireworks
backyard fire pits
cooking stoves and BBQs that use fuels such as wood and briquettes #yeg #yegwx #yegcc

Officials will emphasize with compliance over enforcement on fire ban.
But they add they will use fines and charges if necessary - and oh, that could include paying for all emergency costs tied to any fire you start.

As of April 30, Edmonton has seen 185 brush, grass, or wildland fires of varying sizes this year. Six of these fires have posed threats to nearby structures.
A reminder that almost 85% of all wildfires are started by humans, especially at this time of year when lightning strikes aren't an issue.
So be fire smart, and for the love of Connor McDavid, don't toss out lit cigarette butts.
