Prince Edward County Fire & Rescue (PECFR) says it will move from a full burn ban to a partial burn ban effective Friday, August 29 .

The partial burn ban will remain in place until PECFR has determined that the fire risk level is acceptable.

Under a partial burn ban, burning is restricted to a container with a screened top or a small campfire.

Propane-fueled appliances such as barbeques and fire tables are exempted from the Open-Air Burning By-law.
