Due to current weather conditions, North Bay Fire & Emergency Services has put an immediate ban on all open burning for the City of North Bay. This includes all those who are current permit holders.

The dry, windy conditions which we are presently experiencing are predicted to continue throughout the week and could prove disastrous for any type of burning. Those individuals found disobeying the ban will be charged and fined.

This restriction will remain in effect until further notice. Thank you for your co-operation.
