Fire Danger Rating Upgraded to HIGH
Please be advised that the Fire Danger Rating has been elevated to HIGH.
What does this entail? 1. Open-air burning and recreational campfires are prohibited. 2. All existing burn permits are suspended. 3. The use of fireworks is prohibited. 4. Contained campfires are permitted solely for cooking and warmth if no other means are available.
To report a forest fire, call the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) 310-FIRE (310- 3473). No area code is needed. Leave a message if you get an answering machine. They will need to speak to YOU and require you to provide more details. The operator will prefer to speak with a firsthand witness to gather important information – remember they are trying to assess and coordinate a response (probably by air) and details are important.
