Department of Natural Resources lifts Nb Fire Ban across New Brunswick
The Department of Natural Resources lifted the nb fire ban across New Brunswick on Thursday afternoon, but two counties still face limits. Westmorland County and Albert County remain under restricted hours, with fires allowed only between 8 pm and 8 am.
Westmorland and Albert County
That leaves most of the province free of the broader ban while keeping a narrower rule in place for those two counties. For people planning a fire over the long weekend, the active hours are the only window that still applies in Westmorland County and Albert County.
Fire watch at 2 pm
The provincial fire watch is updated daily at 2 pm, and people were told to keep an eye on provincial burn notices throughout the long weekend. Tara Clow, the news anchor and reporter tied to the story, framed the update around the changing notices rather than a one-time announcement.
The daily update schedule is the practical detail to watch. A fire that is allowed one afternoon can fall outside the permitted hours later in the day, so anyone planning to burn in the affected counties needs to check the watch before lighting anything.
