Due to the extreme dry weather conditions, the Mission Fire/Rescue Service has declared a total ban on open burning within the boundaries of the District of Mission.
The ban goes into effect at noon tomorrow (July 6).
The declared ban on open burning applies to all open burning devices including campfires and backyard fire pits.
The ban does not apply to devices specifically designed and manufactured for the purpose of cooking (i.e. barbecues).
For reasons of safety, the ban on burning within the district will remain in effect until further notice.
Updates on this ban will be posted in the Mission Record and on the district’s website at mission.ca.
