Fire Danger Rating Lowered to Moderate in Lake of Bays

The Muskoka Fire Danger Rating has been lowered to MODERATE. Small fires are permitted in most areas of Muskoka keeping in mind that NO DAYTIME BURNING is allowed. Fire must be under constant supervision and control from time of lighting until it is totally extinguished.

Extreme caution must be taken with all open flames. Forest fuels are very dry, meaning new fires can start easily, burn aggressively, and challenge fire suppression efforts. Extreme caution must also be used in any forest activities.
