Smoke from wildfires spreading across Canada continue to impact air quality in our region. Due to poor air quality coupled with dry conditions from lack of rainfall, Kingsville Fire and Rescue is issuing an immediate fire ban for both agricultural and residential burns in the interest of public safety.

Can I still apply for a permit?

The Fire Department will continue to receive burn permit applications, but they will not approve any until further notice.

What if I already have a burn permit?

Residents who have received an approved open burn permit will have that permit suspended until conditions improve and we lift the fire ban.

How long will this last?

Kingsville Fire and Rescue will continue to monitor air quality and dry conditions to determine when it is safe to lift the fire ban. We will provide notice through the Town’s news portal and social media channels. Subscribe to the Town’s news portal to receive this notice, and other community news, directly in your email inbox.

We appreciate your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact the Fire Department at 519-733-2314.
