The RM of Mervin is renewing its fire ban as of July 14.
This is due to hot, dry conditions leading to an increased fire risk, says the RM.
This adds to the list of areas immediately north and east of Lloydminster with fire bans, including Loon Lake, Frenchman Butte, Onion Lake, and Meadow Lake. A fire restriction is in place in Wilton.
West of Lloydminster, a partial fire ban is in effect in the County of Vermilion River and the Village of Edgerton. Recreational campfires, burning barrels with screens, and approved incinerators are allowed. Opening burning that requires a permit is not allowed.
