Some burning restrictions in N.B. to start the long weekend

,

The Victoria Day Weekend marks the unofficial start of the summer season.

And that can mean fires in the backyard or at the campsite.

But the province is reminding New Brunswickers to keep an eye on burn notices.

As of Friday afternoon, only Carleton, Charlotte, Sunbury and York counties are open for burning.

All other counties are under yellow conditions, meaning burning is permitted between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.

Conditions are updated daily at 2 p.m.

Information can be found at the province’s Fire Watch website.

Check fire restrictions before burning starting Sunday

The burn restrictions are back in place across Nova Scotia starting on Sunday, March 15.

With the wildfire season running from March 15 to October 15, you will have to check online if it’s safe and allowed to have an outside fire.

Halifax is reminding everyone to never leave your fire unattended as it could start to spread quickly and become dangerous.

They also say to completely extinguish your fire by dousing it with water and stirring the ashes repeatedly until everything is cool to the touch.

Starting on Sunday, March 15, you can check the fire restrictions map online here.
