\"\"<\/a>The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry has issued a Restricted Fire Zone notice for the Northwest Region of Ontario. A Restricted Fire Zone is in effect when outdoor conditions are extremely dry, and\/or when the number of fires occurring has stretched firefighting resources to capacity<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Restricted Fire Zone is a temporary measure for extreme situations. As soon as outdoor conditions permit, the restrictions are lifted.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By law, you cannot<\/strong> have an outdoor fire in a Restricted Fire Zone. This includes all grass and debris burning and campfires, even when using an outdoor fire gate, fireplace or fire pit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you need heat for cooking and warmth, and you\u2019re in a Restricted Fire Zone, you can only use certain equipment (e.g.<\/abbr>, portable gas or propane stove) if you follow certain rules.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are exemptions to the ban on outdoor fires in a Restricted Fire Zone. If strict criteria are met, campfires and charcoal barbeques may be allowed in organized campgrounds or parks.<\/p>\n
