Fire Restrictions
For Category 1 fires, you must check the burn restrictions below before you may burn. You may also call 1-800-237-5053 to check the burning restrictions for the current day. Category 1 fires are NOT permitted between 8am and 2pm.
For Category 2,3, or 4 fires, you must hold a valid burn permit, and you must check the Fire Weather Index (FWI) below before you may burn.
Recreational campfires are currently allowed, with permission of the property owner and subject to local bylaws or provincial restrictions.
Always check your municipal bylaws, or contact your municipal office, before doing any type of burning. Your municipality may have a burning restriction that overrides the provincial burning map restrictions.
