The hot weather has prompted Prince Edward County to enact a partial burn ban as the high temperatures pose a risk to firefighters when working fires.
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.
The fire chief will update the ban when conditions improve.
The burn status can be checked anytime by calling 1.833.376.1011 or by visiting the County website.
For more information, contact Fire Dispatch, Prince Edward County at 613.476.2345 or fire@pecounty.on.ca.
To report a complaint about illegal burning, call 613-476-2345 immediately at the time of your complaint. If your concern is an emergency, dial 911.
