| 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.
For
further information on the by-law visit the City of Pembroke's
By-law directory page.
