Morden, Winkler and the RM of Stanley have entered into a full fire ban, which includes recreational fire pits until sufficient rain.

The level four fire danger level indicates no controlled burning is allowed including burning barrels, and burn permits and fireworks permits are cancelled.

Due to unstable weather including high temperatures and strong winds, the Province has also enacted a total fire ban on campfires in Stephenfield Provincial Park. Officials say the restrictions are precautionary, and will be reviewed once the weather system passes and conditions can be re-assessed.

Fire danger levels are calculated based on a number of factors including temperature and moisture levels. Learn more here.
