This Watershed Condition Statement for the Lake Erie Shoreline and CCCA watershed will remain in effect until 8:30 a.m. on Monday, December 13, 2021.

This is a reminder to be diligent, and watch local weather conditions and to take appropriate action when circumstances require.

    FIRE BAN IN EFFECT - ELGIN COUNTY

    Shared from www.elgincounty.ca

    FIRE BAN IN EFFECT – ELGIN COUNTY

    (June 5, 2023) – Effective immediately, all open-air and recreational fires are prohibited anywhere in the City of St. Thomas, Town of Aylmer and the Townships and Municipalities within the County of Elgin. Open air fires are defined as any fire outside of a building and include bonfires, campfires, burn barrels, outdoor fireplaces/chimineas or any other fires set in open air.

    Although there is some variation across Elgin County, dry conditions are consistent throughout. This fire ban is being imposed due to the extreme dryness of vegetation in the area and shall remain in effect until further notice.

    If you discover an open-air fire, it is very important that you report fires immediately to 9-1-1. Do not delay reporting while attempting to control or extinguish the fire.

    All burn permits in these municipalities are now suspended. No burn permits will be issued until the ban is lifted.

    For any questions or possible exemptions within your municipality please check their appropriate website, social media, or contact the Municipality and/or fire department having jurisdiction.
