Temporary fire ban in effect for Vaughan

Ban in place for 30 days or until conditions improve
 

Due to unseasonably dry and hot conditions, and out of an abundance of caution, Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service is issuing a total fire ban effective immediately. 
 

Burning of any kind is not permitted within the city of Vaughan while the fire ban is active. This ban has been issued for the protection of property, public safety and the safety of the firefighters that would have to respond to an incident.

The fire ban is in place starting today – June 6, 2023 – for 30 days or until conditions improve. Until that time:

• existing fire permits are cancelled.
• no new fire permits will be issued.
• no open fires or burning debris of any kind will be permitted. This includes recreational open-air burning (bonfires).
