Nope. That's Alberta out west. This literally blew up yesterday.
Early reports are someone burned illegally in their back yard during a no-burn day

This is updated everyday (March 15th-October 15th) at 2pm for domestic burning across the province. If it's safe you can start at 2pm until 8am the following day. If it's yellow 7pm to 8am.
