The fire ban for the RM's of Ritchot and Ste. Anne have been lifted.

The RM of Ritchot lifted their fire ban on Tuesday, and the RM of Ste. Anne lifted their fire ban at noon Wednesday.

Reeve Art Bergmann for the RM of Ste. Anne says residents have been cautious so far, and he hopes that caution will continue over the long weekend. “This will allow people to have fires in their backyard and enjoy the outdoors.”

Bergmann says fires are allowed in enclosed fire pits, and notes the fire by-law is still effect, as well as the Provincial fire ban.
