The Loughborough and Portland Waste Disposal sites re-opened on their regular scheduled days and times.

Total Fire Ban Lifted in South Frontenac

Effective Thursday, April 22, 2021 at 8:00 am the total fire ban was lifted in the Township of South Frontenac.

“I would like to thank the residents of South Frontenac for complying with the ‘Total Fire Ban’ that was put in place on April 9th, 2021, for the safety of our community, our properties, and our SFFR firefighters,” said Fire Chief Darcy Knott, Director of Fire and Emergency Services for the Township. “The combination of wet weather conditions and greening vegetation presents less of a risk for burning than just a few weeks ago.”

Chief Knott explained, “With the release of the fire ban, I urge residents to burn only when conditions are appropriate, have adequate means to stop the spread of fire if it becomes out of control, and as always … Think Safe and Be Safe!”
