A total fire ban issued in the City of Barrie on August 7 has been lifted following recent rainfall and improved conditions.

The fire danger rating has been reduced from extreme to moderate. This means:

  • Fires are permitted within an approved outdoor solid fuel-burning appliance with a valid OSFBA Permit.
  • Open-air burning is permitted with an Open-Air Burn Permit

The City reminds residents that even with the total fire ban lifted, fire safety remains a priority. Please use caution when burning and always follow permit conditions.
