Burn permits can be purchased by calling 519-369-2505 or by visiting the West Grey Fire Department located at 179 George Street West in Durham.
You will need to get a permit if your fire is larger than two-feet in diameter. The cost is $20 per month or $220 for the year. Permits must be purchased at least one hour prior to starting the fire.
Farmers burning brush or other farm-related materials must call 519-369-2505 one hour prior to register their burn free of charge.
Burns related to demolition require a permit and a site inspection prior to burning.
Permit holders are responsible for their fires and will have to pay should the fire department be called to put out a fire.
Do not leave fires unattended and always have water nearby to extinguish if necessary.
