Burning Ban

Effective immediately there is a ban on all burning in HRM. Any permits that have been issued are to be revoked.

We expect that there will also be a burning ban issued by Dept of Natural Resources later today, but our Municipal ban will be in place regardless.

This ban is due to the amount of burning that is taking place because of the fallen tree debris. Our fire service resources are already taxed to the limit in the aftermath of the hurricane and we cannot allow unnecessary burning at this time.

You will be notified when the ban is lifted.
