This is a Historical record of “Can I Burn”. For current/lastest Burn Restrictions ; click here - Updated Daily at 2pm during Wildfire Season (15 March to 15 October)
Friday September 26:
Effective 8 pm tonight:
Burn ban, fireworks ban and woods closure continues for Annapolis County.
Burn after 7 pm for Colchester, Cumberland, Pictou & Guysborough Counties.
Burn after 2 pm for the rest of Nova Scotia.
Be sure to check municipal bylaws!
With conditions improving, the ban on open fires is lifted in all counties except Annapolis, as of 8 p.m. today, September 26.
The ban will remain in place in Annapolis County until the end of wildfire season due to the ongoing Long Lake wildfire. The daily burn restrictions – and the continued ban in Annapolis County – apply to open fires such as campfires, bonfires, brush fires, fires in chimeneas and any other fire that is not enclosed and uses wood as the fuel. Unlike gas or charcoal fires, sparks could escape from an open wood fire and cause a wildfire.
The restrictions do not apply to non-woodburning devices like charcoal and gas barbeques and gas stoves, which can be used following manufacturer’s instructions.
The Province’s BurnSafe map will be red from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. because burning is never permitted during those hours; the daily restrictions will be posted at 2 p.m. to show what is and is not allowed for the rest of the day. The usual end of wildfire season is October 15.
