The Canadian Press, 21 Jun, 2016 12:59 PM
    HALIFAX — The Nova Scotia government is banning domestic brush fires and campfires in parts of the province due to the high risk of wildfires.
     
    The Department of Natural Resources says mainland Nova Scotia has a no-burn order, while Cape Breton has restrictions on when people can start fires.
     
    In Cape Breton, a restricted burn order means domestic brush burning and campfires are allowed only between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m.
     
    The wildfire risk season runs from March 15 to Oct. 15.
     
    During that time, brush burning and campfires are allowed only from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.
