Stratford Issues Ban on Open-Air Fires Requiring a Permit

Effective midnight on July 15, 2022, the City of Stratford has issued a ban on all open-air fires that require a permit, and the ban will remain in effect until further notice.

This open-air fire ban does not include backyard recreational fire pits.

The ban comes as the city, and the rest of the province, is experiencing extreme dryness of all types of vegetation.

The City of Stratford also noted that if you discover an open-air fire, it is important to report it to 9-1-1 immediately.
