UPDATE: Woodstock Open-Air Burn Ban Lifted

Wednesday, 7 June 2023 14:11

By Kayla Kreutzberg

The Woodstock Fire Department has ended the 4-day open-air burn ban.

Woodstock -  The City of Woodstock has lifted the temporary fire ban on all open-air fires. 

The cooler temperatures combined with rain expected in the forecast were the main reasons provided for why this 4-day ban came to an end. 

Permits will still be required for residential open-air fires.  Permitted fires must be contained within an approved fire pit located on a non-combustible surface, be smaller than 60 cm x 60 cm and 45 cm high, at least 4m from any building, property line, trees/hedges, or any other combustible material, and are only allowed between 4 p.m. – 11 p.m

Those with questions are asked to contact the Woodstock Fire Department.

WOODSTOCK- The Woodstock Fire Department has issued a ban on all open-air burning within the municipality. 
The ban is in place due to the current dry conditions and the special air quality statement issued by Environment Canada. 
The ban applies to all recreational and agricultural burning.  
It does not affect manufactured appliances such as barbeques or other propane fueled devices.
There is currently no end date of when the ban will be lifted but the ongoing conditions will be monitored.
