A partial burn ban will come into effect Friday, Aug 29, 2025 in Prince Edward County.
The County was previously under a full burn ban for a few weeks before transitioning to a partial ban.
Under a partial burn ban, burning is restricted to a container with a screened top or a small campfire. Propane-fueled appliances such as barbeques and fire tables are exempted from the Open-Air Burning By-law.
All burn permit holders and anyone having a fire should read the burning restrictions and follow the by-law when setting an open-air fire.
A burn permit is required for all open-air burning.
The burn status can be checked anytime by calling 1.833.376.1011 or by visiting the County website or pec.burnpermits.com.
To report a complaint about illegal burning, call 613.476.2345 immediately at the time of your complaint. If your concern is an emergency, dial 911.
