All outdoor fires, even on properties with outdoor fire licenses, are prohibited, the fire department announced on Friday. The ban applies to agricultural product burns, stake burns, fires and wood-burning outdoor fireplaces. Appliances that do not require a license (propane, ethanol and gas fireplaces and barbecues) are not included. The fire brigade enforced the ban due to environmental conditions, including a large volume of dry vegetation that “increases the risks and can quickly lead to the rapid and uncontrolled spread of the fire,” a press release said. “This ban will remain in force until conditions improve and green grass begins to appear through tall dead grass,” he said. The fire department also recommends keeping flammable materials away from buildings and propane tanks, ensuring that propane tanks are located at least three meters from buildings, storing piles of wood at a safe distance from homes, and ensuring that cigarettes are thrown away. security.
