What does a Partial Fire Ban mean?

A Partial Ban may be declared when conditions present a moderate fire risk. While some activities are now permitted, caution is still required.

 

Still Prohibited:

• All open burning (Ex. Brushpiles)

• Use of incinerators

• Fireworks

 

Permitted (with supervision and safety):

• CSA or UL approved appliances (e.g., propane BBQs)

• Portable propane fire pits

• Campfires in contained fire pits or designated campground fire rings

 

Off-Road Vehicle Use:

Recreational ATV/UTV/dirt bike use is not permitted, except within designated hamlets and only for essential transportation, provided:

a) You stay on established roadways or driveways

b) No travel occurs through grassed or vegetated areas

c) You follow all provincial and municipal traffic rules

 

Agricultural or Commercial Use:

ATVs/UTVs may be used only if essential to operations, with a risk assessment done beforehand and fire suppression equipment on hand.
