Educator explains why fire permits matter
This year makes 16 years that the Trent Lakes Fire Department and Community Care have prepared a picnic – sausages and burgers prepared by the firefighters and salads and dessert prepared by community care volunteers.
This year John Harvey, Trent Lakes Fire Department educator, stressed the importance of a fire permit. The times for open air burning – 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. – and dates - April – October are listed. Other regulations are included on the permit. He stressed the importance of announcing a burn by calling 1-800-374-4009 ext. 301 or 1-705-738-3800 and calling again when finished. If someone calls in saying that smoke is seen your call helps the fire department locate a fire and its significance.
Because we are on a busy flight path with planes coming in from around the world pilots have called in and identified signs of fire. And because of the existence of federal and provincial land the more information the fire department has to work with the better.
A fire permit can be obtained
at the municipal office, the landfill sites, public libraries, and at Nogies Creek Station 4. They are free.
