Northumberland County Fire Ban Lifted

In Local

Based on significant rainfall, cooler temperatures and more rain in the forecast the County-wide Open Air Burn Ban has been lifted in Northumberland County, effective immediately.

Residents are reminded to follow their local Municipal open-air burning by-laws and to always use extreme caution when performing open air burns.

Important Notes:
• Failure to comply with your local open-air burning by-laws may result in fines and/or charges under the Ontario Fire Code and Municipal By-Laws.

Residents are asked to remain vigilant, report any signs of fire immediately, and do their part to help prevent the spread of fire.
