Re: Fire Advisory Now in Effect

As a result of the sustained dry conditions, lack of snow cover in the area, and generally high grassy and organic fuel load in the community, the Summer Village of Nakamun Park is updating the municipality’s fire ban status to a Fire Advisory. This Fire Advisory is declared as of 9:00am on March 15th, 2024 and will remain in effect until further notice.

 

During the Fire Advisory:

• Existing Burn permits remain active, but no new permits applications will be reviewed
• Recreational cooking, warming, and campfires in acceptable fire pits are allowed, along with BBQs, and propane/natural gas fired appliances. There will be zero-tolerance for any use of unapproved fire pits or cooking units, or other unsafe/prohibited fire related activities in accordance with the Fire Services Bylaw.

This Fire Advisory is consistent with that adopted in Lac Ste. Anne County, our most immediate municipal stakeholder, the advice of our local fire services provider, and also recommended by our regional emergency management services partnership. We collectively remind all property owners and guests to be vigilant when enjoying a fire in the community during this period of heightened risk.

Thank you for your cooperation
