Burning prohibited province wide today. The woods are very dry across NS and high winds are creating favourable conditions for quick burning wildland fires.

Always check @NSLandsForestry burn safe map before you light up!

Best wishes for a memorable and fun 86th Apple Blossom Festival! Please enjoy all the festival has to offer but do so responsibly. If you drink, please don’t drive. We’d hate to have your festival memory end with a visit from us or our partner agencies #ABF2018

Burning is restricted across NS today until after 7pm. Despite this, there are still brush fires being reported in some locations. Today's winds could lead to the quick spread of fire despite recent rain. Always check https://t.co/BqHLlREAVR before you burn! #nsburnsafe

[Kings County Firefighters Association @KCFFA]

Today’s #nsburnsafe map has improved slightly however, burning today is still restricted province wide. No open fires are permitted until after 7pm. Do 1st responders a favour and comply with the restrictions. Always check https://t.co/BqHLlREAVR before you burn.
