Now that the snow has melted there’s a city-wide ban on all open fires in Ottawa.
Leaves and grass from last fall are dry, and fallen branches can also fuel a fire spreading across a field. As well, Ottawa firefighters would have trouble getting their trucks into open country where the ground is waterlogged and soft.
Ottawa Fire has ordered a “burn ban” effective immediately.
It says: “This ban will remain in place until conditions improve and the green grass starts to show through dead tall grass.
“All open air fires are prohibited during a fire ban. There will be zero tolerance enforcement during the open air burning ban.”
At times where open-air fires are allowed, city residents must obtain a burn permit for any open air fires. For more details visit ottawa.ca/fire.
