Fire ban issued in Lethbridge County

Dry and windy conditions in southwest Alberta has prompted Lethbridge County to impose a fire ban.

The ban applies to all open fires in the county, excluding those which are contained in a cooking or heating appliance fuelled by fluids or gasses.

Earlier this afternoon crews from the county's fire department were dispatched to a grass fire on the Blood Tribe reserve, but that is now under control.
