King Fire and Emergency Services has lifted the open air burn ban put into effect on July 30 on all outdoor fires. As of noon today, August 21, residents can safely resume recreational burning and apply for an open air burn permit as usual.
Having an outdoor fire in the Township may require a permit as per the Open Air Burning By-Law Number 2015 - 109. If you are unsure about the type of fire permitted on your property, you can consult the online Interactive Burn and Fire Restriction Map, where areas in red are restricted to recreational fires only.
Permits for approved fires are available by calling King Fire and Emergency Services at 905-833-2800 or by email to king@fire.ca.
