High Hazard Rating

We have moved into the HIGH hazard category for wildfires. Small, supervised campfires are still being allowed with permits but that may change at the beginning of the week as we head into a very hot and dry period. Environment Canada has already issued a heat warning for the lower half of the Province.
Please report any smoke columns to 911. Be aware that cigarette butts smolder and can ignite coarse woody debris hours after being tossed.
Thank you for your vigilance in keeping our island safe from wildfire.
If you are mowing or chain-sawing in the bush, try to get everything done before 11 in the morning when we have a bit higher humidity and lower temperatures.
