Open Air Fires
An Open Air Fire Permit is required before setting any open fire, including brush fires, burn barrels, campfires, outdoor fireplaces and agricultural windrows/wood piles.
An Open Air Fire Permit must be applied for annually online or from the Municipal Office.
A brush fire or burn barrel is not permitted in rural residential areas, hamlets, and areas of concentrated development, such as Eastons Corners, Jasper, Merrickville Ward.

The Importance Of 911
Please remember, it is the responsibility of the dispatcher to ask questions to gather information. As they are asking you questions, we can assure you that they are also getting help on the way! Our dispatchers are extreme multi-taskers and they do a wonderful job obtaining information from you and updating officers who are on the way.
It’s a tough job, so we thought we would go over the Do’s and Don’ts of 911
- Life threatening medical situations (chest pains, seizures, bleeding, falls)
- Crimes in progress (anything that is happening RIGHT NOW)
- Fires
- Life-threatening situations (person(s) with a weapon, physical fights, someone who is suicidal)
- Vehicle Accidents
DON'T FORGET TO CALL BEFORE YOU BURN!
