Some of the new residents of Nova Scotia may not know that wildfire season runs from mid-March to mid-October. And for almost a decade, there has been a system in place to let people know the risk of fire spreading in wooded areas. Instead of requiring residential permits, people are asked to check the Burnsafe map on the Nova Scotia government website after 2pm on any day they want to burn organic materials on their property. It shows a colour-coded guide to when burning can be done within the rules. If a so-called controlled burn gets out of hand, the property owner could be facing a bill for the crews that show up to deal with it. Kara McCurdy works with the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources and Renewal. As a Wildfire Prevention Officer, one of her duties is to help clarify the rules and the reasons behind them.
