The person responsible for the fire must verify at all times, before proceeding with the burning, that the fire danger is low (white) or moderate (green) or high (yellow), and this, with the Société de protection des forêts contre le feu (SOPFEU).

If the fire danger indicated by SOPFEU is extreme (red), all fires are prohibited on the territory of the Municipality.

Furthermore, the permit may be suspended or revoked at any time by the representative of the Municipality or by the representative of the Fire Department duly authorized to do so in one of the following cases:

• Where a ban on open air fires has been issued by the Quebec Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources;
• When an open air fire ban has been issued by the SOPFEU (Société de protection des forêts contre le feu);
• When one of the conditions stated in this by-law is not respected;
• During the dry period following the spring snowmelt (March 1st to May 31st);
• When the Municipality or the Fire Department decrees by public notice a ban on burning on its territory.

The SOPFEU fire danger rating is a minimal guideline to follow! The appropriate behaviour to adopt for each level of fire danger is laid out below.

• LOW (blue): This is a good time to burn waste and make campfires.
• MODERATE (green): Make only small fires.
• HIGH (yellow): Do not light fires or burn waste if wind speed exceeds 20 km/h. (If wind or gusts over 20km/h: Prohibited at all times (article 11, by-law (no 244).
