Prince Edward County will be under a partial burn ban throughout the municipality beginning Saturday, July 5.
The burn ban is in place due to the extremely dry conditions, and is intended to prevent fires and reduce risk to firefighters who would have to respond to them.
Under a partial burn ban, burning is restricted to a container with a screened top or a small campfire. Propane-fueled appliances such as BBQs and fire tables are exempted from the Open-Air Burning By-law.
