🔥 Check before you burn! What does this mean for you?
Before lighting a campfire, brush pile, burn barrel, chiminea or wood-burning fire bowl, check the Nova Scotia BurnSafe map after 2:00 pm daily during wildfire risk season.
Use the colour guide:
🔴 Red: Burning is not allowed
🟡 Yellow: Burning is only allowed 7:00 pm – 8:00 am
🟢 Green: Burning is allowed 2:00 pm – 8:00 am
When conditions become very dangerous, a fire ban may be proclaimed for one or more counties, or across the province. When a fire ban is in place, the map stays red, meaning open fires are not allowed anywhere provincial burn restrictions apply. Consumer fireworks are also not allowed during a fire ban.

📞 To report a wildfire or burn restriction violation, call 1-800-565-2224 or 911.
🏛️ Please also follow all applicable municipal bylaws and policies.
Let’s keep our homes, forests, neighbours and shorelines safe this summer. 🌲🌊
