sec.145O Cancelling local fire ban
If, while a local fire ban is in force, the commissioner considers the fire emergency for which the ban was imposed has ceased to exist, the commissioner must, by notice published under this section, cancel the ban. Notice of the cancellation of a local fire ban must be published on the department’s website ( normal publication ). However, if notice of the cancellation of a local fire ban can not for technical or other reasons be conveniently published by normal publication, notice of the cancellation may be published ( alternative publication )— in another way decided by the commissioner; and by normal publication as soon as practicable. As well as publishing notice of the cancellation of a local fire ban by normal publication or alternative publication, the commissioner may cause the cancellation of the ban to be publicised in any other way the commissioner considers appropriate.
