The current fire danger is currently set to Extreme.
There is a total fire ban on all fires until further notice.
- No fires of any type are permitted
- No fires are permitted for cooking or warmth
- No fireworks are allowed
Conditions are being monitored until sufficient rainfall has been received. Extra caution should be taken when using ant equipment/tools that may produce heat.
- Consider using methods other than grinding tools and hot works outside
- Do not drive any type of vehicle through long grass/brush as hot exhausts and engines can ignite dry ground cover
- Dispose of cigarette butts and joints in metal containers and/or water
Additional care should be taken when using propane appliances such as barbeques. A responsible person should always monitor these appliances while in use.
Consult with your local by-law department for outdoor burning regulations in your municipality.
