The fire closure order that was issued last week by Environment, Energy and Climate Action Minister Steven Myers has been revoked and the fire ban has ended. The order was revoked due to the change in weather conditions that has greatly reduced the possible spread of wildfires in the province and decreased the Fire Weather Index.
Campfires and bonfires are allowed with the permission of property owners and if allowed by local bylaws.
Islanders planning to burn small amounts of domestic brush must consult the safe burning site after 2 p.m. on the day they plan to burn. Burning is only allowed between 2 p.m. and 8 a.m., based on weather conditions.
