Dry conditions have forced the postponement of burning season in 91原创.

Due to what Township fire officials call 鈥渆xtremely dry鈥� weather conditions, residents are being advised that outdoor burning remains prohibited.

With a zero-tolerance policy in effect, those found burning during the ban will face fines 鈥渆xceeding $200,鈥� the Township announced today.

Further, burning permits for the 2017 fall session will not be issued until significant rainfall has occurred.

Under normal conditions, the Township鈥檚 fall burning season would be between this Friday, Sept. 1 and continue through Oct. 31 鈥� as weather permits.

But weather doesn鈥檛 permit.

Residents are also reminded that those who want to cook outdoors can use natural gas or propane fires contained within appliances approved by the Canadian Standards Association. But, due to the extreme weather conditions, briquette barbeques are currently prohibited.

Residents will be alerted through the Township of 91原创鈥檚 website at tol.ca, Facebook, Twitter, and the Township Page in local newspapers when burning permits are once again being issued.
