Fire Bans

Urban and Rural Fire Bans

Urban fire response differ significantly from rural response. Access to water supply and size of the fire district all play roles in determining the level of advisory or ban in place. Because of this, fire bans in The Town of Strathmore may differ from fire bans in Wheatland County. Watch this page for the most up-to-date information on Fire Advisories.

What is a fire advisory?

A fire advisory is issued to inform residents about conditions which pose a moderate to high fire risk. Fire advisories may be issued during unusally dry or hot conditions and may stay in effect despite rain or snow. Advisories are issued for safety while the Strathmore Fire Department continually monitors conditions. Any updates to fire advisories or bans will be posted to this page.
