A modified fire ban is now in place in the RM of Vanscoy.
Delisle Fire Chief Mike Given said the modified fire ban, implemented on Monday, August 17, includes non-urban areas within the RM of Vanscoy; but excludes the Town of Delisle, Village of Vanscoy, and all hamlets within the RM of Vanscoy.
“The ban will affect controlled burns, burning barrels, fireworks, and Chinese lanterns,” said Given.
“Fire pits and campfires for cooking will be allowed as long as they are monitored by an adult 18 years and older,” he added. “All propane or gas barbecues, charcoal briquettes in an approved firebox and propane or gas heaters are still allowed.”
