Fire Ban Issued for Addington Highlands and North Frontenac

A total fire ban is now in effect in Addington Highlands and North Frontenac.

That’s according to Addington Highlands Fire Chief Casey Cuddy. The dry conditions and high temperature cause an extreme fire hazard.

The areas affected include: Kaladar, Northbrook, Cloyne, Bon Echo, Plevna, Ompah, Denbigh, Flinton and the surrounding areas.

A fire ban means that no open-air burning is allowed. That includes campfires, incinerators, chimineas and fireworks displays as well as Chinese lanterns.

Cuddy says that gas stoves and BBQs may be used for cooking, but to make sure they’re set-up in a non-combustible area.
