Caledon bans all outdoor burning

July 8, 2016   ·   0 Comments

There is currently a ban on all outdoor burning in the Town of Caledon
It took effect last week, and Deputy Fire Chief Darryl Bailey said Tuesday it will remain in effect until further notice.
Caledon Fire and Emergency Service reported the lack of precipitation and extremely dry conditions have combined to the point where firefighting operations on grass, brush, bush, etc. could be extremely dangerous for firefighters and may place properties at high risk.
The ban was issued pursuant to the Fire Protection and Prevention Act and the Ontario Fire Code. Contravention could result in a minimum fine of $300 and a minimum invoice of $691 per fire truck per hour for all firefighting costs.
