Effective immediately and until further notice, a fire ban is in place on all open fires within the City of Lethbridge’s River Valley.

Residents are advised to exercise extra caution, particularly when disposing of smoking materials, as they can easily ignite dry vegetation and cause uncontrolled fires.
