Province Lifts Burn Ban and Travel Restrictions in Annapolis County
Effective October 15, at 2 p.m., the ban on open fires and restrictions on travel and activity in the woods have been lifted in Annapolis County due to improving conditions.
Daily burn restrictions, however, remain in place provincewide until the end of the extended wildfire season on October 31. Violations of these restrictions can result in a fine of $25,000.
"Although it’s still very dry across the province, we’re getting some rain and cooler temperatures that are reducing wildfire risk," said Tory Rushton, Minister of Natural Resources. "That allows us to lift the outright bans and give residents of Annapolis County a break. I ask all Nova Scotians to stay vigilant and continue following the daily restrictions to help protect our people and our communities."
The daily burn restrictions apply to open fires, including campfires, bonfires, brush fires, and fires in chimeneas, as these can potentially cause wildfires due to escaping sparks.
