Innisfil Fire & Rescue Services monitors the fire danger rating from spring through fall. Always check the fire danger rating before starting a fire.
Fire danger ratings range from low to extreme (complete fire ban) depending on conditions. The fire danger rating is determined using the Fire Weather Index (FWI), an internationally used method for ranking the risk of open-air fires. It considers humidity, temperature, recent rain amounts, as well as wind directions and wind speed.
You need to purchase an open-air burn permit for outdoor fires that are larger than 0.5 m in size in the Town of Innisfil.
