It could potentially be bad news for campers looking to head a bit further south for the long weekend.

A fire ban is now in effect for the MD of Willow Creek which means fires are not allowed at any campgrounds.
 
The ban includes all open fires, fire pits, burning barrels, fireworks, and recreational fires.

Fires that are contained for cooking or heating appliances, fueled by fluids or gas, are the only exceptions.

The fire ban will be in effect until further notice.
