A ban on open fires in all areas of Nova Scotia has ended. However, the Department of Natural resources is urging reisdents to continue using caution when having fires in or around woodlands. Spokesperson Jim Rudderham reminds everyone that it is still fire season, and to have the means to control or extinguish their fires. A provincial burning permit is required when having a fire within three hundred and five metres of the woods. Landowners should also contact a municipal government office to see if they require any additional permits.
