Dufferin County issues complete fire ban.

Complete burn ban notice⚠️🚨

A complete burn ban is now in effect across Dufferin County (Orangeville included), effective immediately.

Why are we doing this?

➡️ Extremely dry conditions and poor air quality from wildfire smoke have created a much higher risk for fires getting out of control.

➡️ The ban reduces wildfire risk and prevents adding additional smoke to the air.

What does this mean?

🚫 No open-air burning or fires of any kind are allowed until further notice

Remember to monitor local air quality and limit outdoor activities, especially if you are experiencing health impacts from the smoke.
