Closure of Fire Pits in the Visp Region

All official fire pits in the municipalities of Ausserberg, Baltschieder, Eggerberg, Lalden, and Visp have been closed due to Forest Fire Alert Level 4, following a decision by the regional fire commission, and may not be used until further notice.

Electric and gas grills are still permitted, even near forests. These do not produce flying sparks when in use.
