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, 2 p.m.
Daily burn restrictions remain in place provincewide until October 31. Violations will result in a $25,000 fine.
“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
- Fires in chimeneas
- Any other fire that is not enclosed and uses wood as fuel
