More fire restrictions coming Friday

More restrictions will take effect Friday morning in southeastern Manitoba, as the result of raging wildfires.

Our province announced Thursday afternoon that beginning Friday at 9 am, a full fire ban and backcountry travel restrictions will be implemented. This is for both inside and outside provincial parks. 

The impacted region includes Areas 1, 2 and 3, which basically includes everything east of Provincial Road 302. 

Our province says motorized and non-motorized travel will be prohibited without a valid travel permit.
