Effective at noon on Tuesday, Aug 5, 2025, there will be a total fire ban throughout the County of Haliburton, including the townships of Algonquin Highlands, Minden Hills, Highlands East and Dysart et al. This means no outdoor burning any time of day or night.

Bonfires, fireworks, torches and the lighting of charcoal barbecues, as well as any other light sources that use an open flame, are prohibited. Cooking fires are also prohibited. Violating the ban will result in fines. Propane and gas barbecues may continue to be used.

The ban is being implemented through a joint decision of the County’s four Chief Fire Officials due to ongoing hot and dry weather and is supported by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

For more information, please contact the fire department of your local lower-tier municipality.
