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.
