Thank you all whom are successfully using the on-line Fire Permit process atwww.thetisislandfire.ca. Some people, however, are having difficulties with or misunderstanding the on-line form. You MUST agree to having read and understood the restrictions, and by doing so you are taking responsibility for your safe burns. If you do not answer the question, then that will delay the process of receiving the fire permit.
You need to describe the type of fire you wish to ignite…campfire or yard waste. If you do not state which (or both) types of fire, then that will delay the permit process.
And lastly, our volunteer Auxiliary Communications & Engagement Officer (Veronica Shelford) has many other obligations and responsibilities as well as life’s daily activities besides processing fire permits, so PLEASE request a permit a few days ahead of your need if possible. Don’t expect a permit to be processed on the morning of your request, although Veronica diligently tries to do so.
Thank you.
Fire Chief J. Caldbeck
Thetis Island Vol. Fire Dept.
