The South East Fire Centre has put an area restriction in place around the Mount Morro wildfire burning in the Top of the World Provincial Park.
Only those supporting wildfire suppression or enforcement are allowed into the boundary area.
Travelling to or from a residence is also allowed as long as the property is not under an evacuation order.
A map of the restricted area can be found here.
The area restriction will be in effect until Sept. 30 unless rescinded earlier.
The Mount Morro fire has grown to 3,700 hectares since it was discovered on July 17.
