We will be going to EXTREME Fire Hazard on Monday, July 14th. There will be no open burning allowed starting Monday July 14th. This means NO Campfires.
Propane BBQs are allowed if safety precautions are in place. Propane BBQs do not produce sparks and are in an enclosed metal case.
No campfire permits will be approved for campfires after Sunday July 13th. If you already have your campfire permit in place for the weekend, be extremely cautious with your campfire. Do not light it if conditions are windy. Watch it at all times. Extinguish it so well that you would not be worried about placing a baby's bare bottom on the ashes.
Starting Monday, July 14th, please report all smoke sightings to 911.
There have been several bush fires around us recently, including today, and the forecast is for drying winds and very high temperatures this coming week.
Be safe, and be alert.
Thank you.
Thetis Island Fire Dept.
