Burning inquiries from the public permits are required in all requesting burning permits townships which are in the which are required by law area designated as the Forest under the Forest Fires Pre- Fire District of Ontario.

R. 2 - Newcastle 987-4636 Two Miles North of No. 2 on Morgan's Rd. southern most townships in the Fire District and along the northern portion of the Lind- say district are: Carden, Bexley, Somerville, Harvey, Dumner and Belmont. Most organized townships within the Fire District have appoint- ed fire wardens to issue fire permits to the public. Fire permits are required in a Fire District for all outdoor burning except cooking and warmth. They are even re- quired to ignite fire works withing 1,000feet of a forest or woodland. A work permit is required to conduct any operation in the Fire District which is liable to cause an accumulation of slash or debris within 1,000 feet of a forest or woodland. No person shall smoke while walking or working in a forest or woodland in the Fire District. Grass and Brush Burning Tips Each spring the Ministry of Natural Resources and town- ship fire brigades are called out to extinguish fires which have been caused by some thoughtless motorist neglect- ing to use the ash tray. Unforturately, these fires can and do destroy everything in their path, including barns, sheds and homes, Ieaving behind nothing but ashes and grief. Approximately 80 per cent of ail fires are caused by human carelessness. Be care- ful, be sure, and if any questions or problems arise, call the Ministry of Natural Resources or the township fire warden in your local area for advice. Names and addresses of township fire wardens may be obtained by contacting the township clerk. Please follow these safe burning tips and protect your family and property from fire. Remember fire can be your enemy as well as your friend. The following tips will help you have a safe and successful burn. - never burn on a windy day. -- have plenty of fire suppression equipment on hand, a garden hose hooked up, pails of water, a shovel and rake. - have one or two friends or neighbors help, never burn by yourself. - start burning grass on the downwind side of your fire area. - build wide fire breaks around all buildings. burn only small areas at a time. - keep brush piles small and build piles down wind and away from buildings.' - when using an incinerator cover it with a small mesh screen. - make certain all fire is dead out before leaving the site. As burning itself is hazard- ous, we suggest before decid- ing to burn, you explore other means of disposing of the unwanted material - a trip to your local dump. Smoke from fires is a form of pollution and for some fires both in and out of the fire district, a permit is also required from the Mini- stry of Environment's air management branch. Please keep the foregoing tips in mind when disposing of unwanted material collected during your annual spring clean-up about your homes and summer cottages. NOTE- Snce writing the foregoing a farmer residing in the Fire District and in the Lindsay district decided to burn the grass about his farm buildings, without a fire per- mit or taking proper precau- tions. As a result, three acres of grass were burnt, a chicken coup, an implement shed and the side of a barn was scorched. Two fire brigades answered: the call for help.
