The City of Leduc does not require residents to obtain a fire permit to use fire pits or outdoor fireplaces that comply with the requirements set out in the Fire Services Bylaw.
Fire permits are required to burn an open air industrial or agricultural fire. To obtain a fire permit, an application should be submitted to the City’s Fire Services department.
Approved permit holders must follow safety guidelines, including maintaining a safe distance from combustible materials, having extinguishing tools nearby, and adhering to size restrictions. Permits are valid for a specified period and may be suspended if a fire restriction or fire ban is implemented. Violations of the permit conditions could result in fines or revocation.
The fire pit requirements set out in the bylaw and the fire permit requirements for open air burning help the City of Leduc to promote safe, enjoyable outdoor activities for residents and to protect the community from potential fire-related incidents.
