JULY 15: Prince Edward County Fire & Rescue (PECFR) has lifted the partial burn ban effective immediately. All open-air burning is now permitted.
A burn permit is required for all open-air burning. Permits expire at the end of each calendar year.
JULY 24: Prince Edward County Fire and Rescue has implemented a partial burn ban, effective immediately, due to an extreme fire weather index and forecasted extreme heat across the region.
Under the partial burn ban, open-air burning is restricted to a container with a screened top or a small campfire. Consumer fireworks are not permitted during this time.
All burn permit holders and anyone planning to have a fire are urged to review the burning restrictions and follow the Open-Air Burning bylaw
Propane-fueled appliances, such as barbecues and fire tables, are exempt from the bylaw.
As the fire risk changes, the burn ban status will be adjusted accordingly.
