The Municipality of Marmora and Lake has announced that a Restricted Fire Ban will come into effect immediately following tonight’s fireworks display, beginning at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, August 2, 2025.
The decision follows recent fire risk forecasts from the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and consultations with local fire officials. While fireworks are still permitted tonight, the fire ban will take effect immediately after they conclude, marking the start of a full restriction on open-air burning.
Once in effect, the ban prohibits the following:
❌ Campfires
❌ Burn barrels
❌ Outdoor stoves
❌ Any further use of fireworks or flying lanterns
The municipality has made it clear that no fireworks are to be used after 11:59 p.m., and any open-air burning or violation of the restrictions may result in fines.
Only small, contained fires used for cooking or heating purposes are allowed. No new burn permits will be issued during this period.
The ban is a temporary safety measure that will remain in place until further notice. Only the Fire Department has the authority to lift the ban, and a formal announcement will be made when that occurs.
Residents are urged to follow the restrictions closely and stay informed through official municipal channels.
