A burn ban is in effect for the City of Ottawa, Ottawa Fire Services announced Sunday.
All open-air fires are prohibited, including fires on properties that already have a permit. The ban applies to agricultural and brush-pile burns, as well as campfires.
For inquiries, call the city’s 24-hour service line at 311.
Every since last year I’ve been sure to watch the PM 2.5 levels outside. I miss not knowing about it and the danger at times!
