The burn ban enacted by Thornbury Township has been lifted as of April 9, 2025. We ask that you still use extreme caution when burning.
Here are some tips to help keep everyone safe. • Ensure that adequate resources are on hand to control the fire and stop it from spreading. • Never burn in windy conditions. Weather conditions can change quickly, and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material and start new fires. • Create an appropriately sized fireguard around the planned fire site by clearing away twigs, grass, leaves and other combustible material, right down to the mineral soil. • Never leave a fire unattended. • Make sure that any fire is completely extinguished, and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time.
