The Rural Municipality of Nipawin has initiated a fire ban, effective immediately.

In light of the wildfires hitting across the province right now, the RM stated “an extreme fire hazard condition exists within the municipality.”

This means that no person should light, start, allow, or cause to be lighted, ignited or started a fire of any kind whatsoever in the open air. This includes fires contained within fire pits and solid fuel-burning appliances.

All burning permits, if any, issued for the burning of material within the municipality are also herby suspended effective Friday. The lighting or discharge of fireworks is also strictly prohibited.

This fire ban includes and applies to all lands located within the RM of Nipawin No. 487, and will continue and be in effect until further notification from the RM. They will review the order Monday (May 8) morning at 9 a.m.
