NORTH BATTLEFORD — The City of North Battleford rescinded its fire ban on May 25 due to recent precipitation and upcoming weather forecast in the Battlefords region after being initially issued on May 2, 2023.

The city is also reminding residents that in order to initiate any open-air burns or to use a fire pit on their property, the North Battleford Fire Department does require a permit.

"Permits are provided after Fire Department personnel complete an inspection to ensure that fires are burned in a way that minimizes the risk of fire spreading to surrounding property and structures and reduces overall harm," reads a release from the city.
