Please take note of this statement from the Department of Forestry’s website:
On Prince Edward Island, you require a valid burning permit for any open fire within 200 metres of burnable vegetation during the March 15th to December 1st period. Consult your burning permit to check on the fire weather index and wind speed conditions it states. It is an offense to burn without a valid permit or to fail to advise your local fire department before you start the fire. Fines for burning without valid permit are between $200 and $1000 and you are assessed the cost of extinguishing the fire. In addition, those who cause escape fires are liable in court for damage caused to neighbouring properties.

Also, the Town bylaws state: "No open fires shall be permitted within the Alberton Town limits without the permission of the Fire Chief or his designated representative."
