Due to extreme weather conditions, the Township of Langley Fire Department advises residents that burning permits for the autumn burning season will not be issued until there is a significant amount of rainfall and conditions are not so dangerously dry.

Until the weather conditions change, the Township has zero tolerance for burning offences and those who contravene the ban will face fines exceeding $200.

Township’s autumn burning season normally runs between Sept. 1 and Oct. 31, weather permitting.

Residents are also reminded that those who want to cook outdoors can use natural gas or propane fires contained within appliances approved by the Canadian Standards Association.
