Total fire ban in Canterbury until Monday
Canterbury Police are disappointed with fires being lit despite a total fire ban in place across the region, which extends to Monday.
Police will be investigating any suspicious fires and may prosecute those responsible, with investigations underway of reported fires since the ban was put in place. Arrests are likely.
The fire ban is in place to reduce the risk of wildfires, which can be fanned further and bigger with significant windy conditions forecasted for several days.
🔴 Do not light outdoor fires for any reason.
The fire ban also includes fireworks, and Police advise people to avoid lighting any fires or using gas cookers outside.
If you see unlawful behaviour, including fires being lit when they shouldn’t, call 111 immediately.
