Province Lifts Burn Ban and Travel Restrictions in Annapolis County
The ban on open fires and restrictions on travel and activity in the woods have been lifted in Annapolis County, effective October 15, due to improving conditions.
Daily burn restrictions, however, 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. 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, and brush fires, as they can cause wildfires.
