A permit must be obtained from a forest management district office to burn vegetation, wood and paper products during forest fire season.
The 2024 forest fire season started yesterday in the province and will remain in effect until September 30. A permit must be obtained from a forest management district office to burn vegetation, wood and paper products during forest fire season. A permit is not required for backyard fires, recreational campfires and boil-ups on forest land, or within 300 metres of forest land. Fires must be prepared in accordance with regulations. Anyone planning outdoor fires should first check the provincial online forest fire hazard rating maps to determine the level of forest fire risk. Fire hazard maps can be viewed at the Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture website and are updated daily. To report a wildfire, call: 1-866-709-FIRE (3473).
