Fire Permits

Fire Advisory in effect for the City of St. Albert. 

Effective April 26, 2024, until further notice, the City of St. Albert has issued a Fire Advisory due to dry, windy and increased fire conditions. Permitted fires are still allowed, but a restriction or ban may be called if conditions worsen. We are asking that everyone do their part in reducing the risk.  

  • Please be extra cautious when enjoying a private firepit.
  • All wood burning firepits must be permitted and used in compliance with the Fire Services Bylaw.
  • Wood burning firepits must always be used with a screen spark arrestor. 
  • Firepits must be fully extinguished before leaving unattended.
  • Dispose of smoking materials (cannabis, cigarettes, cigars, matches or lighters) properly. 

Updates will be provided on the Fire Bans & Restrictions page. To view a list of declared fire bans or restrictions across the province, please visit Alberta Fire Bans.

In this section you will find information on fire permit requirements for propane devices and wood burning pits located on residential or acreage and farm properties. You will also find step-by-step instructions on how to apply for a Fire Permit along with the necessary downloadable forms.
