Fire Bans
The MD of Acadia has 4 stages of Fire Hazard Warning Levels:

The current level is Fire Restriction.

No campfires (or other open fires) or charcoal briquettes are allowed in random camping areas. Gas or propane stove/barbeques and portable propane fire pits are allowed. Incinerator fires are permitted at a minimum distance of 30m away from structures and 3m away from combustible materials. Existing Controlled Burns may be suspended or cancelled and no new Controlled Burns will be allowed.

Control Burns
When permitted, controlled burns are to be completed in a burning pit, barrel, or other controlled environment. Control burns must be supervised by at least 1 person at all times with an adequate supply of water on hand to guard against fire spread.
Please note that effective Spring 2019, the only option for control burn permits will be via online submission.
