Wildfire Prevention

Nova Scotia is in the heart of wildfire season. The weather is getting warmer and dryer, putting us at greater risk this time of year.

In Nova Scotia, almost all wildfires are caused by people, so prevention is our first line of defence. Wildfire prevention is everyone’s responsibility. Let’s not have another season like last year’s.

BurnSafe Map

BurnSafe provincial 2024

Burn restrictions are in place during wildfire season to help protect you and your community. Here’s what you need to know and do:

There is no open fire burning allowed between 8 am and 2 pm because that’s often when the risk of wildfires is greatest. That’s why the BurnSafe map is red during those hours.

Check the map at 2 p.m. daily to see if burning is allowed in your county:

  • Red – no burning
  • Yellow – you can burn after 7 p.m.
  • Green – you can burn after 2 p.m.
  • Fires must be out by 8 am the following day

You also need to check municipal bylaws – if they are stricter, they take precedence over provincial burn restrictions.

Effective May 16, 2024, the fine for violating the daily burn restrictions is $25,000

Where burn restrictions apply

During wildfire season, burn restrictions apply to domestic open fire burning. This includes: campfires, burn pits, brush burning, backyard fires and bonfires, backyard chiminea and similar appliances.

Effective May 16, 2024, burn restrictions also apply in provincial, municipal or privately-operated campgrounds. National parks are under the jurisdiction of Parks Canada.

Please – follow the daily burn restrictions at https://novascotia.ca/burnsafe/ and don’t start the next wildfire.

Three communities in Pictou County will have their capacity to manage wastewater improved and three communities will get improved drinking water after a combined investment of more than $17.7 million from the federal and provincial governments along with the Municipality of the County of Pictou and the towns of New Glasgow, Stellarton, and Trenton.

The Town of New Glasgow recently completed replacement of approximately 960 metres of aging cast iron pipeline between Maple Avenue and Dalcrombie Drive on Abercrombie Road to the quality of water supplied to residents, as well as improved fire protection.

The second project currently in progress is the Southend Storm Sewer Separation. Separating the stormwater and sanitary sewer pipes will help the Town increase its capacity to treat and manage wastewater and stormwater.
