The Inter Township Fire Department and the Arran-Elderslie Fire Department have issued partial open air burn bans, effective immediately, due to the ongoing hot and dry weather conditions. This ban will stay in place until conditions improve.
The ban includes, but is not limited to:
- Burning brush, wood, or yard waste
- Demolition Burns of old buildings or structures
- Agricultural or industrial burning
- Use of burn barrels
- Fireworks and sparklers
Open-Air Burn Permits are now suspended. The fire department says no new permits will be issued.
What is Still Allowed:
- Small, supervised campfires used for cooking or warmth in permitted outdoor fireplaces or fire pits.
The fire department asks that if you have a fire, keep a shovel, water (bucket or hose), or a fire extinguisher nearby.
They say, “Please remember that all fires, including fire pits, require a burn permit. Burn Permit Applications and updates on burn bans and fire risk conditions can be found at georgianbluffs.burnpermits.com/.”
