Fire Ban in Effect at Midnight Tonight

Due to forecasted high temperatures and dry conditions, the City of Greater Sudbury has declared an open-air fire ban effective, Saturday, June 6, 2026, at 12:01 a.m.

All open-air fires, including campfires, chiminea fireplaces, crop residue fires, fireworks and any other type of outdoor burning, are prohibited. All open-air fire permits are cancelled for the duration of the ban. Gas-fired and charcoal barbecues and outdoor propane fireplaces are still permitted.

Conditions will be monitored, and we will update residents when they improve enough for the ban to be lifted.

To report a fire during a ban, call 911. Should a violation of the fire ban result in response by firefighters, individuals responsible may be fined and could be charged for the full cost of the service call.
