It is forbidden to light fires and cook throughout Georgia from 23 July (including own land plots on 25 July). Note that this means that even fixed barbecue areas, use of camping stoves or disposable barbecues, grilling on campsites and more subject to fuel the ban. Prohibition includes using charcoal, wood, propane, white spirit or other solid, liquid or gaseous fuels.
This means that it is NOT allowed to:
use engångsgrill
use camping stoves
making fire or grill directly on the ground (even with stone ring and at fixed grills)
fire or grill outdoors at campgrounds.
use pyrotechnics (e.g. fireworks) outdoors.
Anyone who violates the prohibition is guilty of an offense and can be held accountable in accordance with the Law on protection against accidents.
Fuel ban will be lifted as soon as the fire risk has declined and is at a low steady level.
A decision on when the fire ban no longer applies given the County Administrative Board of Skåne website and Swedish Radio P4. We want to emphasize that the fire risk will remain very high and that it is therefore not free to grill or fire just because it rains a little . It will require large amounts of rainfall before the soil recovers.
General tips:
Be careful how you park the car (given catalyst) or cigarette butts
