Open Air Burn Ban in Effect

Due to extremely dry conditions and deteriorating air quality caused by ongoing wildland fires across Ontario and Manitoba, a County-wide Open Air Burn Ban is being implemented in Northumberland County, including the Township of Hamilton, effective immediately.

Beginning August 6 and until further notice, all forms of open-air burning are strictly prohibited within the Township of Hamilton, including but not limited to:

  • Backyard campfires or fire pits
  • Brush and yard waste burning
  • Agricultural burns
  • Fireworks
  • Any fire not contained within a CSA-approved outdoor appliance (where permitted)
