Restricted Fire Zone

Get data on areas where outdoor fires are not permitted.

This dataset shows areas where outdoor fires are restricted in accordance with the Forest Fires Prevention Act. There are two reasons why a restricted fire zone is in effect:

  • outdoor conditions are extremely dry
  • the number of fires occurring has stretched firefighting resources to capacity

A restricted fire zone is a temporary measure for extreme situations and is lifted as soon as conditions permit.

The Forest Fire Info Map shows active fires, current fire danger and restricted fire zones in place due to high fire danger.
