Daily burn restrictions now also apply to campgrounds.
The fine for violating the daily burn restrictions is now $25,000.
Check the BurnSafe map at 2pm every day to see if burning is allowed in your county.
Be sure to follow municipal bylaws as well.

There have been 18 lithium-ion battery fires so far this year, 3 more than this time last year. 🔌 Never charge lithium-ion batteries or devices by doors and windows. 🔋 Never charge them unattended or overnight. www.https://t.co/uIhP27TTkv
Firefighters face serious health risks, including death from cancer. January in Canada is Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month, thanks to Bill #C224. @SenatorHYussuff was the bill’s sponsor in the Senate.

Did you know that electric vehicles can go back into Thermal Runaway weeks later?
The ‘smoke’ you see isn’t actually smoke, it is a highly flammable, toxic and explosive vapour.
Some of the key components are:
HCN - Hydrogen Cyanide
C6H6 - Benzene
C7H8 - Toluene
C2H4 - Ethylene
H2 - Hydogen
O2 - Oxygen
CO - Carbon Monoxide
CO2 - Carbon Dioxide
HF - Hydrogen Fluoride
NO2 - Nitrogen Dioxide
HCI - Hydrogen Chloride
CH4 - Methane
It is important to note I’m not against Lithium Ion Batteries (or EVs), they can be a good thing and will no doubt change lives and innovation for years to come, however the technology currently is way ahead of the solution in the event of an incident.
We need urgent legislation, education, training and operational guidance for dealing with these incidents.
For more information on Thermal Runaway, and the dangers of Lithium Ion Batteries please see the link below (and please check your smoke alarms):
