The Forest Fire Danger Risk is currently at the low end of EXTREME. With the bit of precipitation we received the other night combined with the forecasted precipitation for this weekend, we have opted to not put a fire ban in place at this time.

Camp fires are still permitted at any time of day or evening.  Please keep them small (less than 1m) with all combustibles (such as vegetation, sticks, leaves, etc.) kept well back from them and only build your camp fire on mineral soil (gravel, sand) or bare rock.

While burning of brush piles less than 2m in diameter is still permitted after 7pm and must be out cold by 7am.

*** We ask that if at all possible you put off burning until conditions improve. ***

$$$ REMEMBER, YOU COULD BE CHARGED SUPPRESSION COSTS FOR ANY FIRE THAT GETS AWAY FROM YOU! $$$.

Chief Korhonen and I have been monitoring the fire danger conditions daily and will continue to do so.

The Fire Information Line 613-336-1851 is always updated when things change.

Thanks to everyone who helps us all stay fire safe!
