ALL OUTDOOR FIRES ARE BANNED

Only exceptions are for outdoor grills which are attended with a fire extinguisher, burning trash in burn barrels with screen tops, and self-contained fire pits with screen tops attended with a fire extinguisher.

Violators are subject to fines and court action, and the cost of fighting a wildfire can be charged to the violator.

Isle au Haut does not have the equipment and trained personnel to adequately fight most wildfires.

Ban in effect until further notice.
