The Fire Permit season in Lac Ste. Anne County begins April 1st annually.  Thank you to all the residents who called the Administration Office during the winter season to let us know about controlled burns.  This helped to avoid unnecessary responses by our Fire Departments and was appreciated.  Please make sure that any lingering ground fires are extinguished promptly.  Anyone who conducted winter burning MUST ensure that the fire is completely extinguished by April 1st.  Permits will not be issued for existing fires nor for ground fires; therefore, any existing fires must be extinguished immediately.

All Lac Ste. Anne County residents must obtain a fire permit for any outdoor fire between April 1st and November 1st annually.  It is unlawful to burn without a fire permit.  Fire permits are free, so your cooperation is appreciated.
