By Kass Patterson

A mix of warmer weather, high winds and dry conditions has led to a fire advisory being issued for the county.

According to Lethbridge County officials, as of Wednesday, burn permits are still valid, however people are being reminded there should be no burning when winds reach the speed of 25 kilometres an hour or more. Campfires and burning barrels are also still allowed but with caution.

According to a release from the county, “If conditions do not improve, the County may issue a Fire Restriction or Fire Ban.”

Born and raised in Calgary, Kass, from a young age, developed a love for learning people's stories and being able to share them with the community (or her family, or whoever would listen). In addition to working in communities like Okotoks and Calgary, Kass has also spent her summers travelling with the World Professional Chuckwagon Association since 2019, to help provide a peek behind the barn door into the world of chuckwagon racing. Outside of work and anything horse related, Kass is a reader and an avid country music fan, and most likely can be found with the biggest cup of coffee possible.
