WE ARE IN A RESTRICTED FIRE ZONE!



When a Restricted Fire Zone is declared, it is illegal to set a fire within the affected area. Failure to comply could result in a fine of up to $1,000 and three months in jail, as well as the financial responsibility for any costs incurred in fighting a forest fire caused by the illegal act. 

You can still go camping, hiking, fishing, and have fun outdoors, but if you need heat for cooking and warmth, you’ll have to use a portable gas or propane stove. 

Portable charcoal equipment (i.e. BBQs, Hibachis, etc.) are illegal for use during a Restricted Fire Zone except close to a dwelling that you legally own or occupy or in an organized campground.

Due to high to extreme fire hazard and increased forest fire activity, a Restricted Fire Zone Order will be in effect for the Northeast Fire Region, north of the French River from 0001 hours local daylight time on May 16, 2012 until such time as the order is revoked
