Burning permit required before starting a fire!
Published on Apr 13, 2023
With the warmer weather and the desire to clean up your gardens, you will surely want to build fires to burn your dead leaves and branches. However, the Public Safety Department reminds you that you must apply for a burning permit before starting any outdoor wood fires. Also, be sure to check the SOPFEU fire danger index to see if it is authorized or not on that day!
Burning permit application
Cick on the link to the permit application form to be completed online directly on the Town’s website.
Or, if you are unable to fill out the online form, please call the Town Hall reception desk at 450 538-2290 and they will take your information.
SOPFEU fire danger index to check
Before you build a fire, you should check the fire danger safety index on the Twon’s website by going to the Burn Permit box on the home page: look at where the cursor is located in the color line of the Fire Danger window.
For example, today the cursor is on orange, which is a very high risk! It is therefore forbidden to make fire.
Otherwise, you can also go on the SOPFEU website by entering the name of the town: you will see the color appear for our municipality.
