Due to increasing wildfire risk, and early fire activity in the region, a complete Fire Ban is now in effect for the Summer Village of Island Lake and all fires must be extinguished.

Under this Ban:

• The issuance of new fire permits is prohibited.
• The lighting of outdoor fires is prohibited.
  Including all open fires, campfires, fires used for cooking, briquette barbecues, burning barrels, chimeneas and portable wood burning fire pits.
• The discharge of fireworks and use of exploding targets is prohibited.

For greater clarity, this Restriction does not include:

• Fires which are contained in CSA approved cooking appliances which are fueled by liquid fuel (propane, natural gas, or camping fuel) such as Barbecues or Camping Stoves;
• Internal household fireplaces with approved spark arrester or screen used to prevent sparks from leaving the chimney;
• CSA approved portable fire pits and radiant heaters which are fueled solely by liquid fuel; and
• Electrically operated pellet smokers where combustion is contained within an engineered firebox.
