There has been some pushback from some public on recent restrictions on travel in wooded areas and burn restrictions...we get it. It's not making the best of everyone's summer experience and freedoms. I understand. It sucks. It's not optimum.
I feel the Nova Scotia Government is doing their best to simply reduce the liklihood of someone doing something stupid. It's a math exercise, less travel will reduce liklihood of dumb stuff. But at the end of the day when someone does do that...people may lose their homes, their pets, and maybe even their lives. It happens pretty quick when the conditions are ripe and they are that way right now. Just look at Newfoundland. This was us a couple of years ago.
If you actually want to help...and not just complain, consider joining the your local fire service or the Nova Scotia Guard because when it goes south for several days in a row, they need a ton of people to help with comfort centres, food service, parking etc. Stay off of work (unpaid) to volunteer for 3 or 4 days and then you may gain a true appreciation of the benefit of risk reduction. Trust us, they are not out to get you. They are just trying to prevent homes and lands from burning down to the ground.
It's pretty simple.

From Harbour Grace Volunteer Fire Brigade in Newfoundland:
As many of you are aware there is a provincial fire ban in place until September 7th for the entire province. While we normally do not post photos or video of emergency scenes we feel this video is worth sharing. What you are viewing is the the unmistakable destructive power of while fire. This video was taken by a member of HGVFB last night at the Kingston fire. Shortly after this video fire fighters attacked and contained this fire preventing the loss of numerous homes. Please follow the fire ban order and don’t put your homes, lives or the lives of our first responders at risk. A huge thank you to all the people involved in fighting the wild fires on the North Shore and in Holyrood. This is a team effort.
