Due to extremely dry conditions and deteriorating air quality caused by ongoing wildland fires across Ontario and Manitoba, a Total Fire Ban is being implemented in Northumberland County, including the Town of Cobourg, effective immediately.
Effective August 6, 2025, and until further notice, all forms of open-air burning are strictly prohibited within the Town of Cobourg, including but not limited to:
· Backyard campfires or fire pits
· Brush and yard waste burning
· Fireworks
· Any fire not contained within a CSA-approved outdoor appliance (where permitted)
Important Information:
· The ban applies to all areas of the Town of Cobourg
· Failure to comply may result in fines and/or charges under the Ontario Fire Code and Municipal By-Laws.
We thank the community for their cooperation and understanding.
