When the area of Cypress County was settled over a century ago, many settlements developed and parcels of native grassland were plowed up for planting cultivated crops. Many small, self governing municipalities incorporated, but the drought and depression of the dirty ’30s caused great hardship.

Due to dry conditions Cypress County has issued a Fire Restriction until further notice. All fire permits are CANCELLED.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Government Act, the Forests and Prairie Protection Act, and Cypress County Bylaw 2008/14, Cypress County hereby orders, effective immediately, the following:
A Fire Restriction is being implemented regarding fires (including fireworks) within the boundaries of Cypress County. All fire permits have been cancelled.
Upon special request, fire permits may be issued once an inspection has been completed by the Cypress County Fire Chief or Deputy Fire Chief. Special request for permits must prove that a controlled burn is necessary to the livelihood of the permit holder.
A Fire Restriction is in affect due to the high fuel load remaining from last year along with the unpredictable weather patterns that Cypress County has been experiencing.
A person who willfully sets an open fire, or any fire not allowed under this order, may be charged under the Forest and Prairie Protection Act and Cypress County Bylaw 2018-33. If the person is the owner or occupant of the land on which the fire is set, those costs may be recovered by placing the costs on the tax roll and recovering them in the same manner as taxes.
This order amends any previous fire control orders.

Any person or persons who willfully sets an open fire is responsible for
controlling it at all times. The applicant is solely responsible for any and
all damages and the applicant further agrees to indemnify and hold Cypress
County harmless against any and all losses or damages which may arise.
