Even though the County of Barrhead is not currently under a fire ban, the Province of Alberta has instituted a fire ban in the Forest Protection Area. This area encompasses some of the north and northwest parts of our County, including:
- Holmes Crossing Municipal Campground
- Holmes Crossing Sandhills Ecological Area
- Klondike Ferry Municipal Campground
Campers in Holmes Crossing Campground or Klondike Ferry Campground are not permitted to have open campfires at this time, until the ban is lifted in the Forest Protection Area. Propane BBQs are still allowed.
