Fire ban lifted after two weeks in Barrie

A fire ban put into place earlier this month for the City of Barrie has finally lifted, after Mother Nature provided a break from the sweltering hot, humid and persistently dry conditions. The fire danger rating hit extreme on August 7 for Barrie and much of Simcoe County due to the brittle, dry conditions, prompting the total fire burn that prohibited any outdoor burning of any kind. According to the City, the fire danger rating has now dropped from extreme to moderate. What does that mean for residents? Residents are now allowed to use approved outdoor solid fuel-burning appliances with a valid OSFBA Permit, and open-air burning is once again permitted. There are currently no restricted fire zones in Ontario, according to the Ontario government.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency, *MANDATORY CREDIT* Officials from the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) are set to provide an update – as all residents who were forced from their homes due to wildfires have officially returned.
