Can I burn today in Hearst?
Hearst’s by-law does not set out what each fire danger rating allows, so this page cannot tell you whether today is a burning day. Today’s rating is beside this, and the fire hall below has the answer.
- Air quality (AQHI)
- No station near here
- Observed
- rating measured at the centre of Cochrane District, which covers a wide area
A rating is not permission. Hearst requires a permit, and a fire ban can be declared at any time. Town of Hearst (Town Hall) decides — not this page.
Fire season (April 1 - October 31)
Apply for an Open Air Burning Permit at Town Hall
The Town's own Fire Permits page describes a seasonal (April 1-October 31) permit regime issued by the Fire Chief, with no fee charged.
