Fire Ban Now In Effect

A municipal fire ban is now in effect across the City of Temiskaming Shores and the Township of Harris because of the extreme forest fire danger in the area.
Effective July 15, all burning permits have been suspended and all open-air fires are prohibited, including fires used for cooking and warmth.
Residents are being asked to use approved alternatives such as propane stoves or charcoal barbecues designed for cooking instead of open fires.
Fire officials are asking everyone to respect the ban to help reduce the risk of wildfires during the current dry conditions.
The fire ban will remain in place until conditions improve and officials determine it is safe to lift the restrictions.
