Firefighters concerned about increased burning violations

Monday, 23 June 2025 07:51

The dept. has already issued over $5K in fines

Firefighters from the Huntsville/Lake of Bays Fire Department responded to two separate fires last Wednesday.

One incident involved an unattended burn near a home.

In the second incident, crews found a 20 by 20 foot demolished shed that had been intentionally set on fire for disposal.

The fire quickly got out of control, and the homeowner called 911 for assistance.

Fire officials are urging residents to follow local burn by-laws, noting $5,000 in fines have already been issued this season. Daytime burning is banned, and all outdoor fires must meet by-law rules.
