As a result of recent forecasts made by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), and in consultation with other members of the fire community, the Interim Fire Chief is reinstating the Restricted Fire Ban for all of Marmora and Lake, effective at 11:59 p.m. tonight, August 2nd, 2025.

Restricted Fire Ban

There shall be NO open-air fires permitted within the Municipality of Marmora and Lake, at any time of day, including, but not limited to:

  • Campfires

  • Burn barrels

  • Outdoor stoves

  • The use of fireworks or flying lanterns

Any open air burning will result in fines by the Municipality of Marmora and Lake. Only small, contained fires for cooking and heat are permitted. There will be NO burn permits issued during a Restricted Fire Ban.

The ban is a temporary measure, but will remain in effect until further notice. Only the Fire Department may lift the ban. An announcement will be made at that time.
