It Only Takes One Flick to Ignite a Disaster

That quick throw of a cigarette from the car window may appear harmless — yet it has the potential to ignite a wildfire that endangers lives, properties, animals and forests. Its also plain littering!

Please — don’t toss your cigarette.

As well do not be deceived by this slight amount of rain; the conditions are exceedingly dry! As of August 5, 2025, the Municipality of Centre Hastings has issued a full Open-Air Burn Ban. This means NO campfires, burn barrels, brush piles, or any outdoor fire is allowed — until further notice.
