The Town of Cochrane has issued a fire advisory for all citizens due to dry conditions.
According to the Town: "The decision to implement this Fire Advisory has been made on the current dry uncured grasses and the anticipated weather conditions."
Fire Advisory – moderate fire danger. Fire Services warns residents that a more restrictive fire ban may be coming, or that there is a short-term concern like a major wind event which may increase the fire hazard level. During a fire advisory, open fires are allowed, but residents are reminded to be extra vigilant. Soaking the area adjacent to a fire pit with water is recommended.
Permitted usage:
• Internal household fireplaces
• Solid fuel barbecues (charcoal briquettes)
• Liquid fuel barbecues/camp stoves (propane and natural gas)
• Wood pellet grills
• Fires contained within approved facilities and appliances in designated camping and recreational areas.
• Backyard fire pits (wood/propane/natural gas)
• Chimeneas or built-in fireplaces on residential homes
