City-wide burn ban in effect for Pickering
Due to prolonged high temperatures and to support the ongoing safety of our community, the City has implemented a burn ban.
- All agricultural burn permits are suspended until the ban is lifted.
- Propane and natural gas BBQs are allowed for cooking. Pickering Fire Services urges residents to refrain from non-essential outdoor cooking using charcoal or woodfired appliances due to the elevated risk.
- Chimineas, bonfires, and wood-burning appliances remain prohibited in Pickering. Propane or natural gas fire bowls and fire tables should not be used while the burn ban is in effect.
This ban is a protective measure to help prevent accidental fires and ensure emergency services remain available for those who need them most.
Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex is your Designated Cooling Centre. View details here.
