Steinbach maintains Level 2 fire danger

The City of Steinbach raised their fire danger index to Level 2 on May 8, even while the province was advising of extreme fire danger in Southern and Central Manitoba.

For Steinbach residents, a level 2 designation means no controlled burns are permitted, no burn permits will be issued, all current permits are suspended, and no fireworks are permitted.

Fires in enclosed recreational fire pits are still permitted. Gas barbecues and gas fire tables are also still permitted.

Steinbach’s system includes three levels with the third forbidding any fires whatsoever.
