UPDATE JUNE 24: The burn ban has been lifted.
JUNE 17: County Fire Chief Chad Brown has called a partial burn ban due to expected extreme temperatures this week which, he notes, pose a risk to firefighters when working fires.
Under a partial burn ban, burning is restricted to a container with a screened top or a small campfire. Propane fueled appliances such as barbecues and fire tables are exempt.
Prince Edward County Fire and Rescue reminds residents that a burn permit is required for all open air burning.
When conditions improve, the ban will be updated.
The burn status can be checked anytime by calling 1.833.376.1011 or by visiting the County website.
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.
