A burn ban has been issued in the Rural Municipality of Montcalm.

A forecast of warm weather and high winds over the next few days has prompted the municipality to revoke all burn permits and it has halted issuing new permits until conditions improve. The ban includes intentional fires in grass, brush, stubble and includes agricultural burning.

Fires in backyard fire pits will be allowed but must be supervised. The municipality is cautioning against starting any pit fire if winds exceed 16km/h.
