Dry conditions continue across much of southwestern and south‑central Manitoba, and several municipalities are keeping fire bans or restrictions in place heading into the May long stretch.
With little rain in the forecast and fuels drying quickly, local fire chiefs and municipal offices are urging residents to follow posted rules and check restrictions before burning.
The Office of the Fire Commissioner updates the provincial burn‑ban map daily, but the latest municipal list shows multiple communities still under full or partial bans.
