A period of damp weather has prompted Ottawa Fire Services to lift the city wide burn ban that had been in effect recently.
Residents must still obtain a burn permit for any open air fires.
By-law No. 2004-163 regulates the conditions in which fires may be set and the fire department reminds those who intend to set an open-air fire to first contact Ottawa Fire Services at 613-580-2880.
