Burning restrictions today May 16, 2024 from www. novascotia.ca/burnsafe/
” The Province has increased the fine for violating the daily burn restrictions to $25,000, effective today, May 16.
“Almost all wildfires in Nova Scotia are human caused. With the weather starting to get warmer and dryer, I cannot stress enough the importance of prevention,” said Premier Tim Houston. “That’s why we are doubling down on the fine for people who violate the daily burn restrictions. Increasing it to $25,000 for the entire wildfire season should make people pause, and check and follow the BurnSafe map. Let’s not have another season like last year’s.”
