Effective immediately, the Timmins Fire Department has issued a city-wide fire ban. This is due to a lack of precipitation and extreme dry conditions. The fire ban is in effect until further notice and includes all areas within the City limits. The fire ban means that no burning or open flame is allowed. All burning permits have been suspended and Service Timmins has ceased issuing burning permits at this time.
This means:
• No campfires
• No burning in outdoor fireplaces
• No burning in outdoor fire pits
• No incinerator burning
• No brush or slash pile burning
Any person setting an open-air fire will be responsible and liable for costs and possibly fined. For more information, please call the Timmins Fire Department at 705-360-2626.
