Attention

Fire Restrictions at NWT Parks

Due to extremely dry environmental conditions and the increased risk of wildfire, fire restrictions are currently in place at designated Territorial Parks. These restrictions prohibit all open fires, including campfires in approved fire pits and any wood-burning fires, even those contained within a device.

Campfires are currently not permitted at the following parks:

  • Blackstone Territorial Park
  • Sambaa Deh Falls Territorial Park

 

Equipment permitted during the fire ban include:

  • Propane-fueled camp stoves
  • Enclosed propane BBQs
  • Other propane-fueled cooking and heating devices

All permitted equipment must be used within regulation fire pits and must not produce a flame exceeding 0.5 metres in diameter or 0.5 metres in height.
