Month of May

The month of May has seen unseasonably dry conditions so far which as resulted in 26 wildfires with a total of 83 hectares burned within the Coastal Fire Centre.

This is a reminder that the Backyard Burning season is CLOSED. Anyone found in contravention of an open-burning prohibition may be fined. Human-caused wildfires are completely preventable and divert critical resources away from naturally caused fires.

Although campfires are still permitted, always practice safe and responsible fire use. Never leave your campfire unattended and always have a water source present.
