Effective immediately, the Township of Black River-Matheson has implemented a township-wide Fire Ban due to extremely dry conditions and limited recent precipitation.

The Fire Ban applies to all areas within the municipal boundaries of the Township of Black River-Matheson and will remain in effect until further notice.

During the Fire Ban, all open-air burning and open flames are strictly prohibited, including:

• All burning permits are suspended
• NO Campfires
• NO Outdoor fireplaces
• NO Outdoor fire pits
• NO Incinerator burning
• No Brush and slash pile burning

Propane-fueled fire pits, as well as propane or natural gas barbecues, are permitted and may continue to be used with extreme caution.

Residents are reminded that any individual who starts or maintains an open-air fire during the Fire Ban may be held liable for any resulting damages, fire suppression costs, and may also be subject to fines or other enforcement measures.

The Black River-Matheson Fire Department appreciates the cooperation of all residents in helping reduce the risk of wildfire and protect the safety of our communities during these hazardous conditions.
