Fire Chief Chris Harrow has presented a new open fire bylaw to Mapleton council.
These changes to the bylaw would look to align burn bylaws for Minto, Wellington North and Mapleton.
Harrow told council Mapleton’s bylaw is old and needs to reflect more modern times in open air burning.
Getting a burn permit has also been proposed to jump to an online software system which Harrow says will lead to more accurate data and reports.
The bylaw is expected to return to council at a future date.
