Tay Township issues complete fire ban

August 7, 2025

The fire hazard rating in Tay is set to extreme due to prolonged dryness and extreme heat. This means a complete fire ban is in effect, prohibiting any form of open-air burning, including campfires, charcoal barbecues, fireworks and outdoor candles. Propane/gas camp stoves and lanterns are permitted and should be used cautiously and under constant supervision. 

If you are burning during the fire ban you may receive a significant fine under the by-law and/or be charged with the expense of the fire apparatus vehicles and personnel attending the fire.
