Effective tomorrow, July 30, 2025, the Town of BWG will enter a total FIRE BAN. The fire danger rating is EXTREME due to dry conditions. Open air burning is prohibited, and all open-air burn permits will be suspended during the ban.

The fire ban has been lifted, and the fire danger rating has been set to MODERATE. Under the MODERATE fire danger rating, there is some potential for wildfire. Carry out burning and forestry activities with caution.

Last night, we proudly celebrated the graduation of 9 volunteer recruit firefighters alongside their family and friends. Their dedication and commitment to serving our community are commendable. Please join us in welcoming our newest members.

At 10:58 a.m., we paused to remember September 11, 2001. Together with South Simcoe Police, we paid tribute to the lives lost and the bravery of the first responders. We will never forget. #NeverForget #September11th
