Fire Regulations

Open Air Burning

The Aylmer Fire Department responds to several unauthorized burning complaints through out the year. These calls cause the volunteers to leave their places of employment to attend the scene of illegal burning. This is a growing concern as the firefighters are away from their work for what is usually a nuisance call. This ties up the Departments Emergency Vehicles when they may be needed to respond to a real emergency. The Ontario Fire Code 2.4.4.4. “Open Air Burning” states “Open Air Burning shall not be permitted unless approved, or unless such burning consists of a small, confined fire, supervised at all times, and used to cook food on a grill or a barbecue.” Under Town of Aylmer  By-Law, you are allowed to have a recreational fire.
