US EditionWinnipeg implements open-air fire ban
- The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service issued a fire ban starting at 6 p.m. On May 7, 2025, lasting until 6 p.m. On May 19, limiting outdoor fires in the city.
- The ban responds to dry weather, high temperatures, and wind that increase fire risks and suspends all existing outdoor fire permits during this period.
- The ban prohibits open fires, charcoal and wood-burning barbecues, fireworks, burn barrels, and recreational fires while allowing propane or gas barbecues and fire tables with caution.
- Violations incur a $500 fine under city bylaw, and residents are urged to call 911 for fires and 311 to report rule breaches during the ban.
- Officials will monitor conditions and provide updates, indicating the ban may extend beyond May 19 depending on ongoing fire risk.
