Fire Danger Ratings


The Fire Danger Rating is a system of parameters which are considered in order to predict fire behaviour on any given day. The Fire Danger Rating system consist of 4 ratings and one special condition:

Low: normal burning allowed

Moderate: normal burning allowed

High: no open burning allowed other than campfires for cooking or warmth

Extreme: no open burning allowed

Restricted Fire Zone: condition where the wildland is so dry that no open flame is allowed at all

Fire Danger Ratings are displayed on the Municipal Website and on signs located at the entrance to the Municipal Waste Transfer Station on Municipal Drive and on the front of Fire Station #2 in Waubamik.
