FIRE BAN INFORMATION
Please be advised that a Fire Ban is in effect immediately in the
Summer Village of Silver Sands.
No outdoor fires are permitted until further notice.
Only gas and propane appliances such as barbecues,
stoves and fire pits are currently allowed.
Last updated: April 12-2024
When a Fire Ban is in Effect:
The Summer Village will post 'Fire Ban in Effect' signs when there is a full fire ban in effect.
A Full Fire Ban means no fires within fire pits, no warming/cooking/pleasure fires, no open fires and and may include a ban on gas-fueled fires (ie: propane pits/tables) & BBQ's. Watch the website for updates.
The Summer Village will also be under a Full Fire Ban when there is a Provincial Fire Ban in place.
When a Fire Ban is NOT in Effect:
Note that even when a Full Fire Ban is NOT in place, 'open' fires are NOT allowed, only small warming, cooking & pleasure fires within fire pits are permissible.
Please continue to ensure you take care and caution when having a fire and be sure your fire is completely out when unattended. Soak It. Stir It. Soak It Again. Let the fire burn down before you plan on putting it out. Spread the embers within the fire pit, then add water or loose dirt, and stir. Expose any material still burning. Add more water and stir again until you can no longer see smoke or steam.
