Fire Chiefs across Bruce County have together declared a fire ban on all open-air burning, with the except of campfires for cooking and heat.
This ban is in effect as of today, June 1st and will remain in effect until such time that they deem it safe to be lifted.
The Fire Danger Rating in Bruce County sits at Extreme. It takes into account current and historical weather data, fuel types and moisture levels.
This results in all open-air and agricultural burn permits being suspended as well as fireworks.
