Regulations for Township of Severn Residents
The Township of Severn regulates open air burning through an “Open Air Burning Permit System”.
Fire Ban
Township of Severn is issuing an immediate fire ban following Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's Restricted Fire Zone Declaration. All open-air burning is prohibited in Severn to help ensure public safety and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our top priority is the health and safety of our community. This action protects residents from the risk of preventable human-caused fires and reduces inessential demands on our volunteer firefighters.
Read our media release for details.
