Three Lakes Fire Department reminding residents of fire restriction in place

May 9, 2021 | 10:42 AM

The Three Lakes Fire Department is reminding everyone of the fire restriction that is in effect in the RM of Three Lakes; which includes the communities of St. Benedict, Middle Lake, and Pilger.

The restriction has been in place since April 25th, and the department is avoiding a ban to allow farmers to do work.

There are some rules including no fires being left unattended, having a 100-ft fire break, and a piece of equipment to supress a fire should it go past the burn area.

Campfires are also permitted, but not advised, and you’re asked to have a large area soaked with water or has been tilled, as well as having a suitable means of fire supression on hand.
