Update: There is no fire ban status in effect at this time. Open-air burning is permitted. (Updated June 13, 2023.)
Quinte West Fire and Emergency Services has issued a total ban on open air burning, including all campfires and brush burning, effective immediately and until further notice.
This burn ban was prompted by ongoing dry conditions in the local area, which increase the potential for the rapid and uncontrollable spread of open air fires.
Quinte West Fire and Emergency Services will continue to monitor conditions and notify residents once the ban has been lifted.
