Province Lifts Burn Ban and Travel Restrictions
Effective October 15, the ban on open fires and restrictions on travel and activity in the woods have been lifted in Annapolis County.
Daily burn restrictions remain in place provincewide until October 31, with a fine of $25,000 for violations.
Although it’s still very dry across the province, we’re getting some rain and cooler temperatures that are reducing wildfire risk - Tory Rushton, Minister of Natural Resources.
The daily burn restrictions apply to open fires such as campfires, bonfires, and brush fires, as these can spark and cause wildfires.
Minister Rushton urges all Nova Scotians to stay vigilant and follow the daily restrictions to protect people and communities.
