June 2nd, 2023 Important Notice : Fire Ban in Effect

Important Notice

The Municipality of Centre Hastings Fire Department is reminding residents that there is a fire ban now in effect as of June 2nd, 2023.

Open-air burning including campfires and fireworks will result in fines by the Municipality of Centre Hastings. Our utmost priority is to ensure the safety of our residents. The ban is a temporary measure to help keep emergency crews and resources readily available.

The majority of Ontario has been placed on a Restricted Fire Ban by the MNR. There is NO open burning allowed across the province at this time. No campfires, no grass or debris burning, extreme caution when using propane cooking units outdoors. With the dry conditions and the number of fires burning across the province at this time, the risk is too high.
