Significant winds are expected over the next two days. We are already at extreme risk for wildfire with the current dry conditions. These winds add a serious threat to the situation. If you have had a controlled burn of any kind in the last few weeks, please ensure it is fully extinguished to eliminate the chances of it flaring up.

Controlled burn information in the link below. All controlled burns must be called in. Be sure to plan ahead and have appropriate controls in place (fire guards, water source etc). Look at the forecast for the following days. Strong winds are forecast for today. Make sure your old burn is fully extinguished.

Controlled Burns and Notifications When you need to burn grass, bush piles or stubble, be sure you are well prepared and that you have fire guards in place. These "controlled burns" should be reported to avoid deploying firefighters unnecessarily.   Report a controlled burn anywhere in the province...
