The RM of Argyle has issued a fire ban due to the dry conditions. Burning crop residue is not permitted. Rural burn barrels are not permitted. Fires in backyard enclosed fire pits are permitted with dry seasoned fire wood only (no leaves, grass, garbage, brush or branches). The fire pit must have a 360 degree buffer , water available and must be supervised at all times. Any other burning will be subject to fines as per By-Law #1-2014. Council of the RM of Argyle appreciates your cooperation on this matter. Mark Everett, Fire Chief
