Permanent ban on smoking and lighting fires in Flemish woodlands and nature reserves | VRT NWS: news

From Monday 8 August a permanent ban on smoking and lighting fires will come into force in all woodlands and nature reserves in our region. Currently such a ban is only in force when, as is currently the case, fire-risk level Code Yellow or above is in force. The announcement that the ban will become permanent from tomorrow was made by the Flemish Environment Minister Zuhal Demir (nationalist) earlier on Sunday.
