Fire Restriction in Effect – Siksika Nation

Press Release

May 29, 2025

Due to ongoing dry, windy, and warm conditions, Siksika Nation has officially enacted a Fire Restriction. There is a very high risk of fire spread, especially in dry grassland areas.

What’s NOT Allowed:

• Open fires on public land and in backcountry/random camping areas

• Fireworks and exploding targets without written permission from a FIRE Officer

• New fire permits (none will be issued at this time)

What IS Allowed:

• Safe wood campfires in designated campgrounds and backyard fire pits

• Charcoal BBQs, propane/natural gas appliances, indoor wood fires, and open flame oil devices

Please be aware: Due to rapidly changing weather conditions, this restriction may escalate to a full fire ban with little or no notice.

We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our community safe.
