Municipal Fire Ban Lifted
The Town of Kirkland Lake is not within a Restricted Fire Zone; therefore, effective immediately, the Municipal Fire Ban for the Town of Kirkland Lake has been lifted.
Residents are reminded that the lifting of the fire ban does not remove the requirements for an Open-Air Burning Permit. All open-air burning must be conducted in accordance with BY-LAW NO. 98-017 and the conditions of a valid Open-Air Burning Permit.
Dry conditions can still allow fires to spread quickly, so we remind everyone to always follow the conditions outlined on their fire permit and practice safe burning.
Before lighting any fire:
• Never leave a fire unattended.
• Keep a water source or fire extinguisher nearby.
• Burn only during permitted times and under suitable weather conditions.
• Ensure your fire is completely extinguished before leaving the area.
Kirkland Lake Fire Services thanks residents for their cooperation during the fire ban. Continued caution and responsible burning will help prevent unnecessary fires and keep our community safe.
If you see a fire that appears to be out of control, call 911 immediately.
