Chief's Fire Prevention and Safety Message:
With the warmer weather soon upon us, Chief Dave Hughes wants to remind all Stratford Town residents that it is not permitted to burn rubbish, leaves or other vegetation by order of the Stratford Nuisance Bylaw. Similarly, those outside of the Town limits are bound by provincial regulations found here.
Brush fires are sometimes used to clear debris and yard waste. However, they can spread quickly, threatening surrounding wooded areas, homes, buildings and other structures. You should be aware that deliberately set brush fires may result in personal liabilities, fines and/or cost recovery charges related to fire suppression services.
Finally, please exercise caution when using mulch near your home and buildings. Mulch is a very combustible material, and can easily ignite to cause significant damage to people and property. Consider using alternative materials for decorative landscaping such as stones, crushed brick, etc.
To report any fire incidents, please contact 911 immediately.
