Sioux Lookout Release Burning Guidelines Ahead Of Long Weekend

, , ,

The Municipality of Sioux Lookout is ensuring residents know about their fire restrictions as a Restricted Fire Zone will be lifted on Saturday.

Officials say individuals without a burning permit may burn two hours before sunset and must extinguish the fire two hours after sunrise.

The municipality also states that fires must be supervised at all times and must be completely extinguished when finished.

The individual responsible for lighting the fire must have some type of suppression tool such as a rake, hose with water or shovel.

Finally officials say if emergency personnel must attend to extinguish a fire, the person who ignited the fire will be responsible for all of the costs associated with putting the fire out.

Outdoor Fire Ban Being Lifted

, , ,

A Restricted Fire Zone is being lifted across Ontario Saturday morning at 12:01.

Outdoor burning will be allowed over the May long weekend but extreme caution is urged.

The province says it will continue to assess forest fire hazard conditions and a Restricted Fire Zone designation may be reinstated in high risk areas.

To help stop the spread of COVID-19 fire rangers will be required to follow the health and safety guidelines recommended by the Chief Medical Officer of Health, such as physical distancing, frequent hand washing, and daily self-assessments by staff.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry says lifting the RFZ doesn’t mean we can let our guard down when it comes to preventing human-caused forest fires.
