Today is July 30th and it has now rained twice (once for 3+ hours) since this fire ban was issued. How long until it is lowered? It seems they are very fast to issue the fire ban but slow to remove it. I understand why it was issued but how about removing it now that we have had significant rain?
Congratulations to the person/ group who posted NO FIRES. along Hwy 11 south of Gravenhurst. Should see more of these on 11 north of Gravenhurst. And along Hwy 60
