Majority of respondents support the campfire ban, according to The 麻豆社国产's recent poll.

Just before the Victoria Day long weekend, on May 16th, the District of 麻豆社国产put in a campfire ban. 

The provincial Coastal Fire Centre has put in a ban on larger fires, but not campfires.

In response, whether or not the District ban was justified, and should be continued, has become a hot topic among locals. 

Some say that having a ban, when the area has been receiving rain, will make it less likely people will abide by the bans in the future. 

Others have noted the concerning drought conditions throughout the pacific region, early fires this year in other parts of the country and devastating wildfires last summer.

The 麻豆社国产 polled 301 readers and asked the question: Do you support the District of 麻豆社国产putting in a campfire ban before the May Long weekend?

The poll ran from 5/18/2024 to 5/28/24. Of the 301 votes, we can determine that 157 are from within the community. The full results are as follows:

No, it was too early. 18.47% local, 17.94% total

Yes, we can't risk a wildfire. 70.06% local, 69.77% total    
Not sure. 1.91% local, 1.99% total
