Current status moderate: a Fire Advisory is in effect.
Due to the hot, dry conditions that exist and are forecasted to continue, the Municipal District of Taber has issued a Fire Advisory within the municipal boundaries until further notice.
With the Fire Advisory in effect, the Public is advised that a higher risk of fire exists. Fire Permits continue to be issued. We ask that you use extra caution while performing any controlled burn.
The Municipal District of Taber will continue to review this situation and consider changes to the Advisory if conditions warrant it. There is no desire to have the Advisory in place for any longer than necessary – the goal is to advise the public of the hot, dry conditions causing the higher risk of fire, and to protect persons, property, and reduce excess costs to ratepayers.
The Fire Advisory is in effect as of 8:00 a.m. Wednesday, June 10, 2025, until further notice.
