Most of you could smell it yesterday.&#8221; Monahan said despite the significant rain, there has also been significant lightning which caused fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;We do not anticipate that the MNRF will be pulling off the ban in the next little while,&#8221; said Monahan, adding that the Muskoka fire chiefs met and will continue to support the MNRF because &#8220;obviously they&#8217;re the experts in this&#8230; nobody wants the ban off more than I do, believe it or not, we are busier with burn complaints than we are with the ban off.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Bob Stone wanted to know whether headway was being made to fight the forest fires affecting the area. Monahan said that based on the conversation he had with the MNRF, they are making headway but lightning fire starts set them back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Dione Schumacher noted that fireworks were still being sold and wondered whether those purchasing them knew of the total fire ban. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director of Planning Services and Bylaw for the Town, Kristin Maxwell, confirmed that the bylaw department had paid a visit to all merchants asking them to inform customers of the total fire ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Huntsville Mayor Nancy Alcock and Stone said there could be more signs and communication with the public about the total fire ban. Monahan said a press release would be issued today and the fire department is working on some more signage. He also said it takes up resources to administer the signs and change them as per the fire rating.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Chief Gary Monahan confirmed what most people already suspected: there will be no fireworks this Canada Day.
