Oki Siksika,
Siksika Nation has enacted a Fire Restriction. Siksika Nation has issued a Fire Restriction due to the dry, windy, and warm conditions that exist and are forecasted. There is a very high risk of fire spread during windy conditions in any cured (dead or dry) grass fuel type, such as those that exist across the area of Siksika Nation. Due to the rapidly changing weather conditions and the fine fuel moisture content, Siksika Nation may move to a Ban with little or no notice.
A fire restriction prohibit the use of wood campfires on public land but does allow wood campfires inside provincial campgrounds and private property. Fire permits may be restricted, suspended or cancelled, and no new fire permits will be issued.
The Fire Restriction will remain in place until further notice.
