Fire ban in Riding Mountain National Park
Parks Canada announced the ban Wednesday afternoon.
It prohibits visitors from having campfires in the park and prohibits the use of tiki torches, outdoor wood-burning stoves, turkey fryers and barbecues that use charcoal, briquettes, or wood fuel.
Items fueled by propane, including stoves, barbecues, lanterns, heaters, and portable firepits can still be used with caution.
Parks Canada said the current fire danger in the park is high.
The ban will be in place until significant precipitation lowers the fire risk.
According to the Manitoba government, 18 active wildfires are burning in the province.
