The department is constantly monitoring the conditions throughout the NWT for the need for fire bans. While the department did not initiate a fire ban, the department did initiate fire restrictions within the South Slave and Deh Cho regions during extreme fire danger conditions. These restrictions included the cancellation of any ongoing permits to burn and did not allow any new permits to burn to be issued during this time.
