Modified Burn Ban in Place

Thanks to recent and forecasted rainfall, South Stormont Fire and Rescue is moving to a modified burn ban. The modified burn ban means recreational fires are permitted, however all other open-air burning remains restricted. 

Here’s what you need to know:

• Only recreational fires are allowed as outlined in the Open-Air Burn By-law. 
• Your fire must be in an outdoor fire container and cannot be larger than 18” x 18” and 18” high.
• The fire ban remains in place for ALL other open-air burning, including agricultural or windrow fires, or anything larger than a recreational fire.

Let’s keep our community safe—please burn responsibly! Always keep your fire under control, never leave it unattended, and ensure it’s fully extinguished before you leave or head inside.

Thank you for helping protect South Stormont.
