Partial burn ban in effect July 14
Administrator | Jul 14, 2026 | Comments 0
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.
