While the provincial ban on outdoor fires has been lifted, people are being urged to use caution. A Permit to Burn is required to burn brush and other materials during Forest Fire Season, which is in effect in the province until September 30. Permits are free and available at provincial Forest Management District Offices. A permit is not required for backyard fires, recreational campfires, or boil-ups located on or within 300 metres of forest land if the fire is prepared in accordance with Provincial Forest Fire Regulations. Such fires are only permitted if set in a wood burning unit made entirely of non-combustible materials that completely contains the fire. It must be screened, resting on legs or supports, placed on soil and located not less than 3.5 metres from the nearest woods, brush or other flammable materials. Use of gas, kerosene, alcohol, propane or charcoal-burning units is permitted regardless of the fire hazard rating, as long as the unit is not used within 3.5 metres of any woods, brush or other flammable material.
