Ottawa Fire Services has lifted its ban on open-air fires.
People with permits can resume their burning activities, Fire Services tweeted on Monday.
The ban was imposed on April 20 to prevent fires spreading in dry grass and brush. The day after the ban, firefighters put out two brush/grass fires in rural areas. One began after a homeowner burned material in an open barrel and the other apparently was ignited from an unattended brush pile burn.
Fire bans are imposed until fresh green growth starts to show through tall, dead grass.
Cigarettes are a common fire source and the department warns not to throw cigarette butts out of car windows while driving.
Fire Services offers these tips to reduce the risk of grass and brush fires around your home:

Fire Services offers these tips to reduce the risk of grass and brush fires around your home:
- Clear all combustible materials such as tree limbs, leaves and other dry materials away from buildings and propane tanks.
- Keep barbecue propane tanks at least three metres from buildings.
- Wood piles should be stored a safe distance from your home.
- Trees should be pruned to create a good vertical separation from the ground.
- Clear out any accumulated dry or dead debris from your property
