The Mississippi Mills Fire Department has lifted the total burn ban for the Municipality, effective Friday, April 5, 2024.
Burn Level Status is currently set at Level 1, which means conditions are optimal for burning.
Reminder: All residents must have an active 2024 burn permit before any type of burning, including campfires, burn barrels, chimeneas and brush piles. No burning is permitted between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. from April 1 to October 31.
Open-Air Fire Bylaw 17-35 prohibits burning within the Development Boundaries of the Ward of Almonte and the Village of Pakenham. The automated burn permit system will not issue a permit to those who reside in the Development Boundaries.
Eligible residents may obtain a FREE Burn Permit electronically by going online at mm.burnpermits.com, or by contacting the Fire Department and the Municipal Office during business hours. Residents are required to obtain a single permit that is active for one calendar year.
