Pembroke Fire Department

Outdoor Burning The Pembroke Fire Department reminds you that no matter what the weather conditions are, we should all be especially careful when burning outdoors. According to the City of Pembroke's By-Law #2004-31, Recreational Open Air Burning fires will only be permitted along the Ottawa, Indian and Muskrat Rivers on properties that front the water, or within close proximity of same as  determined by the Fire Chief.  The fire is restricted to recreational fires only (bonfires/campfires).  Anyone who conducts outdoor burning on an approved property requires a valid permit from the Pembroke Fire Department. Campfires and bonfires should never be unattended and must be throrougly extinguished before leaving the site and you should always keep water and a shovel nearby to help control the fire.  Never build a fire in high winds or near combustible materials or buildings.
