Attention :

Good evening from the MPOA.  This email is to inform Lake Mazinaw constituents that both North Frontenac and Addington Highlands townships have implemented a Total Fire Ban effective today at noon.  

From the press release:

“Fire Ban” means a total fire ban and shall prohibit; burning of debris, burning in an outdoor incinerator, chimineas, fireworks displays, campfires of any type, and charcoal installations.

NOTE: during a fire ban, for cooking purposes, a Gas camp stove (BBQ) or Hibachis (charcoal installation) may be used provided the installation is used within 100 meters of a permanent structure used as a dwelling that you occupy, or in an organized campground, is at least 2 meters from any flammable material and the ashes and coals produced are completely extinguished and safely disposed of.

Stay safe, please be cautious, and send positive thoughts to the fire crews working on the Centennial Lake fire.
