The RM of Armstrong issued a burn ban earlier this week.

Reeve Jack Cruise says, "With the fire danger and everything else, we had enforced a burn ban. We passed a resolution placing a burn ban in our municipality."

He notes somewhat of an irony occurred.

"I guess the irony of that is we passed it Tuesday morning and by Tuesday afternoon it was raining. The burn ban is still in effect in Armstrong. I guess we'll see what happens over this weekend, and then what next week brings -- whether we leave it on, or whether we take it off or not."
