Extension to the 1996 Forest Fire Season

Beaton Tulk, Minister of Forest Resources and Agrifoods, would like to inform the public that due to unusual warm dry weather we have experienced in August and September an order has been made to extend the forest fire season. Mr. Tulk indicated that forest fire indices, particularly the drought code and duff moisture code, are still quite high. The order will be in effect between the hours of midnight on September 15, 1996 and midnight of September 29, 1996 on the island portion of the province.

Contact: Wayne Martin, Department of Forest Resources and Agrifoods, (709) 637-2416.
