Just over a week after lifting it, the RM of Corman Park has re-instituted a total fire ban as of 8 a.m. on May 1.
Under the ban, all fires within the RM are prohibited until further notice. All fires presently burning are to be promptly extinguished and the lighting of any new outdoor fires is forbidden.
Examples of prohibited fires include fire pits, burning barrels, controlled burns and fireworks. The ban does not apply to internal household fireplaces, propane/natural gas/pellet/briquette-fueled cooking equipment like barbecues or smokers, propane/natural gas fire pits and tables, or fires lit by Fire Protection Organizations for training or preventative measures
Corman Park first instituted a fire ban on April 16, but it was lifted exactly one week later on April 23.
The RM of Vanscoy also had a fire ban in place from April 15 to April 22, but had not re-introduced it as of noon on Thursday.
