Dry Conditions Postpone Fall Burning Season

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 runs between September 15 and October 31, weather permitting.

Residents will be alerted online, Facebook, Twitter, and the Township Page in local newspapers when burning permits are being issued. 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.
