Fire bans are being lifted around the province at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 16th.
In Haliburton County, municipalities are deciding to follow suit, and lift the fire ban for the long weekend.
The May long weekend has many traditions and sitting around a campfire is one of them. Campfires will be allowed two hours after sunset and must be put out two hours before sunrise.
There is still no daytime burning allowed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and people are reminded to use caution and to always have adequate tools and water to extinguish the fire if the need arises. You must be with your fire at all times.
Fireworks are not allowed.
Before lighting your fire make sure you know the rules in your municipality by checking your municipal website.
