The Charlottetown Fire Department is reminding residents that open burning of debris is not permitted unless you have a permit. No open burning is allowed in the city and other parts of PEI because of risk of fire with the amount of trees and debris. Also, the fire department doesn’t have the resources due to a high volume of calls to get to a fire quickly.
Residents are asked to cut tree branches into pieces no longer than 4 feet if possible and leave them at the curbside. Public works crews are picking up the branches and leaves.
