Open-Air Burning and Burning Permits
More
No burning is allowed in urban areas. Natural-gas- or propane-fuelled fire pits are allowed if they are installed according to the owner’s manual.
Clarington Emergency and Fire Services issue open-air burning permits for properties 10 acres or greater. The permit only allows for burning brush.
Burning permits will not be issued for fire pits or campfires, wood-fuelled chimineas, burning garbage or building materials.
