During wildfire risk season (15 March to 15 October), no domestic brush burning or campfires are allowed between 8:00am and 2:00pm. Burn restrictions are updated daily at 2:00pm (you also need to follow municipal bylaws for your area). To report a wildfire or violations of the fire restrictions, call 1-800-565-2224 or 911.
It is advised to put fires out, to ensure all fires are fully extinguished with water before leaving the premises.

The fine for violating daily burn restrictions is $25,000. Daily burn restrictions also now apply to provincial, municipal and private campgrounds (National parks are under the jurisdiction of Parks Canada). Learn more: Summary Offence Tickets Regulations.
