Effective Immediately

Due to the current EXTREME HIGH FIRE RISK, a Fire Ban is now in effect for the community of Sagamok Anishnawbek until further notice.

‍

No open burning is permitted, including:

• Campfires
• Brush or debris burning
• Burn barrels
• Fireworks or any other open flame that could ignite surrounding vegetation

Please note:

• No fire permits will be  issued while the Fire Ban is in effect.
• All existing fire permits are hereby void and are suspended until the Fire Ban has been  lifted.

Current conditions create a significant risk of wildfire. Even a small spark can quickly spread and threaten our community, lands, wildlife, and emergency responders.

Residents and visitors are asked to:

• Comply with the Fire Ban at all times.
• Avoid activities that may create sparks or ignite dry vegetation.
• Properly dispose of cigarette butts in approved containers.
• Report any signs of smoke or wildfire immediately to emergency services.

The Fire Ban will remain in effect until conditions improve and the fire risk has been reassessed.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping protect the people, lands, and natural resources of Sagamok Anishnawbek.
