Fire ban in place in PEI including campfires
PEI’s minister responsible for forestry has issued a fire closure order that bans all fires in the province, including campfires, until further notice.
The ban on campfires and bonfires includes fires on private property as well at provincial parks and campgrounds. Fines under the Forest Fire Prevention Act are enforced while a fire closure order is in place. Fines can reach up to $50,000, plus victims of crime costs. A person causing a fire may be liable for all damages arising from the fire.
