Due to the warm dry weather the MNR implemented a complete FIRE BAN until further notice.

The Township of Kerns offers fire permits free of charge. Small campfires in fire pit do NOT require a permit. Any uncontained burning requires a permit.  Please fill out the application and return it to the Municipal office (email – admin@kerns.ca or  in person at 903303 Hanbury Road). Please plan ahead to allow sufficient time for the application to be approved.
