Bonfire ban covers vast areas of Quebec

Bonfires are no longer allowed in or near forests in multiple regions around the province, the Quebec ministry of Forests, Wildlife and Parks announced Tuesday morning.
The affected areas include the Quebec City, Lanudière, Laurentians, Outaouais, Mauricie, Côte-Nord, Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Northern Quebec regions.
The ministry says the decision to ban bonfires was made because of weather conditions.
