Ottawa Fire Services lifts an open air fire ban
The cooler-than-normal temperatures and potential rain in the forecast has allowed Ottawa Fire Services to lift the burn ban for the City of Ottawa.
An open-air fire ban was issued on Monday due to temperatures in the mid-30s. During a burn ban, all open-air fires, including campfires, are prohibited. The ban covers on properties that have an Open Air Fire Permit.
The fire service lifted the burn ban on Thursday afternoon.
Officials remind residents that they must obtain an Open Air Fire Permit in order to have an open fire.
Lifting the burn ban means people can have campfires.
