Can I burn today in St. Joseph?

Permit requirement not established

St. Joseph’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. A fire ban can be declared at any time. Township of St. Joseph (Municipal Office) decides — not this page.
