Open burning banned in North Bay
Due to current weather conditions, North Bay Fire & Emergency Services has put an immediate ban on all open burning for the City of North Bay. This includes all those who are current permit holders. Hot, dry and windy conditions are predicted to continue for the next few days and could prove disastrous for any type of burning.
There have already been several fires this month due to a heavy fuel load of dry material in the bush. North Bay Fire & Emergency Services will strictly enforce the ban on open burning. This restriction will remain in effect until further notice. The public is reminded that burning brush or grass for clean up around your homes, can be dangerous. Just one careless moment can lead to a wildfire and threaten people, houses and the community.
