The LaSalle Fire Service has issued an open-air fire ban.
They say it is effective immediately due to extremely dry conditions because they constitute a "high risk" for the spread of fire.
Fire officials say all forms of outdoor fires are prohibited in the Town of LaSalle until further notice. This includes campfires, chimineas, outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, brush fires, and agricultural fires.
Fines will be administered for violating this open-air fire ban.
Many municipalities, including Tecumseh and Chatham-Kent, have issued burn bans due to dry, hot conditions.
