The current fire hazard rating across Dufferin County has been lowered to MODERATE.
Under a Moderate Fire Hazard Rating, conditions are still present that allow fires to start, but the risk of rapid spread is reduced compared to higher levels. Caution is still required when burning outdoors, and residents are reminded that fire safety remains important.
MODERATE means:
• Open-air burning may be permitted where allowed by your local municipality and burn permit conditions
• Fires should be kept small, controlled, and closely monitored at all times
• Wind and dry conditions can still cause fires to spread unexpectedly
• Fireworks and other high-risk activities should be used with caution and in accordance with local bylaws
