Forest Fire Safety

Be Fire Smart at the Cottage

Did you know that Ontario updates the forest fire hazard map throughout the day, every day during the forest fire season?

At Ontario.ca/forestfire, you can find the latest updates on the current forest fire hazard, active fires, restricted fire zones, and weather station information through an interactive map. Before heading out to enjoy the outdoors in northern Ontario this summer, visit the interactive map to stay informed of the current fire situation across the province.

Before lighting a campfire, checking the map and your local fire department is crucial. This simple step can help you determine if you’re in a restricted fire zone (province) or a local fire ban (municipality) and play your part in preventing forest fires.

The Carling Fire Department has put together an information package on Forest Fire Safety.
