Can I burn today in Hilliard?

A permit is required

Hilliard’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.

A rating is not permission. Hilliard requires a permit, and a fire ban can be declared at any time. Township of Hilliard / Earlton-Armstrong Fire Department decides — not this page.
