Can I burn today in Schreiber?
Schreiber’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 Thunder Bay District, which covers a wide area · taken about 24 km away, the nearest ground with mapped forest fuel
A rating is not permission. Schreiber requires a permit, and a fire ban can be declared at any time. Schreiber Fire Department decides — not this page.
