Backyard fire pits are allowed in the Lloydminster city limits – bylaws do apply.

Key points to remember are:

The fire pit shall not exceed one metre in width, height, or diameter when measured at the widest points.
A spark arrester mesh screen with openings 1.25cm or less and made of expanded metal must be used to cover the fire pit opening. This is to reduce airborne sparks.
Only the burning of clean wood products is allowed within the City of Lloydminster.
Open air fires must always be supervised by a responsible adult.
A means of extinguishment should be on-hand while burning. This can be a garden hose or a fire extinguisher.

During Fire Prevention Week, the Lloydminster Fire Department reminds residents that fire safety begins at home. With lithium-ion batteries found in everyday items such as phones, e-bikes and power tools, it’s important to know how to charge, store and dispose of them safely. Improper use can lead to overheating, fires or explosions.

The Lloydminster Fire Department is once again teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to raise awareness for fire prevention. This year’s campaign, “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” focuses on the steps everyone can take to keep themselves, their families and their homes safe when using lithium-ion batteries.

The community is invited to attend the annual Fire Prevention Week open house:

When: Wednesday, October 8, 2025
Time: 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Where: D.E. Gustavson Fire Station No. 2 (2706 59 Ave)
