Total Burn Ban in Effect as of April 1, 2026

A total burn ban is in effect for Greater Napanee starting on April 1, 2026.

The Greater Napanee Fire Department implements a temporary open‑air burn ban during the high‑risk period following snowmelt and before vegetation fully greens. This is consistently the most dangerous time of year for grass and brush fires due to dry, dead vegetation, low humidity, and seasonal winds.

Under these conditions, even small or well‑intended burns can spread rapidly and become difficult to control. Spring wildfires present a significant risk to homes, farm buildings, infrastructure, agricultural lands, and natural areas, while also increasing hazards for responding firefighters.

Reduced Load Restrictions Ended as of April 17, 2026

By Town of Greater Napanee - Apr 17, 2026

Please note that reduced load restrictions have been lifted for the Town of Greater Napanee effective Friday, April 17, 2026.
