Campfire Permits – Important Update!!!
Attention Village of Sundridge residents:
Campfire permits are now available online. Click here to apply for a permit.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the Village Office and the Fire Department to close to the public for a prolonged period in 2020 and 2021. During the closure, fire permits were not required provided that all regulations were followed.
With a new and more accessible system in place for obtaining a fire permit, we are asking that by September 20, 2021, residents who plan to have campfires purchase a fire permit.
Things to remember about campfires:
- A fire permit is valid for a full calendar year which means you only need to purchase 1 permit per year
- You must know and follow the Open Air Burning By-Law
- The Burning By-Law outlines that campfires are allowed between 6:00 pm and 10:00 am – NO daytime campfires
- A permit holder who creates a hazard may be held liable for any and all costs incurred by the Fire Department to extinguish the fire.
- All relevant information regarding campfires, the Burning By-Law, and the Fire Rating can be found online or by contacting the Village Office or the Sundridge-Strong Fire Department.
- If access to the internet is a challenge, you may still pick up your fire permit at the Village of Sundridge Office during regular business hours Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 4:00pm.
Please get your fire permit before September 20, 2021!
