Fire Permit Applications

The Fire Permit Program allows the Westlock County Fire Services to take a proactive approach to fire safety and education. 

• All residents must have a fire permit before lighting any fires (please see Fire Protection Bylaws for more information).
• You must either come to the County Office or contact the Fire Guardian closest to the potential burn site as listed below. 
• An application for approval to conduct open burning will need to be completed by the registered property owner for insurance purpose before contacting the Fire Guardian. 
• Fire permits are issued year round within our county with the exception of ‘Fire Season’ when Westlock County Protection Services may have restrictions or bans in effect.

In the northern region of Westlock County we have a Forest Protection Area (as outlined in Gold or referred to as the Golden Zone) and permits must be obtained by contacting Lac la Biche Forest Area at 780-623-5388 following Provincial Bylaws and Regulations.
