What does each rating level mean?
Starting July 10, 2024, regulation of open-air burning was put into effect under By-law 2024‑27, requiring residents to obtain a permit before conducting any open-air burn. These rules apply during the fire season (April 1 to October 31), and the by-law outlines conditions such as fire size limits, safe distances from structures, and other relevant information.
Burning between the hours of 5:00 pm in the evening and be extinguished no later than
7:00 am the following day or earlier, shall only be permitted when the fire rating is
Low or Moderate. Under any other fire rating (High or Extreme) burning shall
commence at 7:00 pm in the evening and be extinguished no later than 7:00 am the
following day or earlier.
