Campfire Ban In Effect

Wildfire prevention is a shared responsibility. Human-caused wildfires are completely preventable and divert critical resources away from lightning-caused wildfires. The City of Armstrong seasonally experiences a "high" or "extreme" fire rating this time of year and we appreciate our residents and visitors taking care.
