BURLINGTON, ON
The Burlington Fire Department has lifted the open-air burning ban, issued on July 13, 2018.
Residents that live in designated burning areas, with open-air burning permits, can resume open-air burning for controlled brush burning and recreational fires.
Controlled out door fires are not permitted – with a permit.
The Burlington Fire Department will continue to monitor and assess the fire danger rating, and the local weather forecast, and provide updates on city burning restrictions.
For more information about open-air burning and fire safety tips, contact the Burlington Fire Department at 905-637-8253 or visit www.burlington.ca/openairburning.
Joe Wintar, Chief Fire Prevention Officer explains that “The recent rainfall and current weather conditions have led to the decision to lift the open-air burning ban in Burlington. Though the fire ban has been lifted, residents should still use extra caution when burning outdoors. Open-air burning is only allowed in approved rural areas of Burlington and requires an open-air burning permit.”
