Campfire and Yard Waste Fire Permits No Longer Required

From November 1 to April 1 Thetis Island Fire Permits are no longer required for campfires or hand piled yard waste fires.  

However, you must check the Venting Index before you ignite your burn pile.  (You must not light the pile on days where smoke will not be vented sufficiently.)  

Category 3 fires- also called machine pile fires, must be registered with the Province and the R -Number recorded by the fire department and a local fire permit obtained from the fire chief or delegate, and may be subject to a site inspection.
