The Fire Danger Class drops to HIGH on Sunday for this area. High Risk Activities such as chainsawing, mowing, chipping, milling etc. can restart in mornings but must cease by 1 pm and a two-hour fire watch posted.
Outdoor burning and solid fuel campfires are still banned by the Province until October 31st.
The long-range weather forecast is predicting a big change next weekend and we may be able to drop from HIGH to MODERATE then. But in the meantime, there is still not enough moisture in the forest fuels to slow down an ignition. Please continue to be fire safe.
