The County of Prince Edward has moved from a full to a partial burn ban throughout the municipality.
Under a partial burn ban, burning is restricted to a container with a screened top or a small campfire. Propane fueled appliances such as BBQs and fire tables are exempted from the Open-Air Burning By-law.
Prince Edward County Fire and Rescue reminds residents that a burn permit is required for all open air burning. Learn more
The fire chief evaluates weather and ground conditions to determine the necessity of a burn ban. When conditions improve, the ban will be updated.
