There is an extreme risk of fire and dangerous forest conditions exist. New fires will start very easily, spread rapidly, and challenge fire suppression efforts. Many forest related activities will be banned or restricted to ensure public safety. ****This includes closing access to forested areas, cancelling Burning Permits, restricting industrial activities, and prohibiting open fires and campfires****.

For additional information please contact the department directly by calling 834-6500 ext. 401 or emailing: planning@conceptionbaysouth.ca .

There is a province wide fire ban, what does this mean?

When a province wide fire ban is in effect, no open-air fires - of any type - are permitted. This includes back yard recreational fires and beach fires. It also means that fire works are not permitted either. Thank you for your understanding.
