Due to high temperatures and dry conditions there is a Fire Ban now in place.

With hot weather and dry conditions in the forecast, the City of Greater Sudbury has declared an open-air fire ban, effective immediately.

Outdoor fires are not permitted during the ban, including campfires, chimineas, crop residue burning and fireworks. All existing fire permits are cancelled for the duration of the ban. Gas-fired and charcoal barbecues and outdoor propane fireplaces are still permitted.

We will continue to monitor conditions closely and share updates when it’s safe to lift the ban. If you see a fire during the ban, call 911.

Compte tenu des conditions météorologiques chaudes et sèches prévues, la Ville du Grand Sudbury a déclaré une interdiction de feux à ciel ouvert, en vigueur immédiatement.

Cela signifie que tous les feux extérieurs sont interdits pendant la durée de l’interdiction, y compris les feux de camp, les foyers extérieurs (chimineas), le brûlage de résidus de culture et les feux d’artifice. Tous les permis de feux en vigueur sont annulés pour la durée de l’interdiction. Les barbecues au gaz ou au charbon de bois ainsi que les foyers extérieurs au propane demeurent permis.

Nous continuerons de surveiller les conditions de près et transmettrons des mises à jour lorsqu’il sera sécuritaire de lever l’interdiction. Si vous apercevez un feu pendant l’interdiction, composez le 911.

We are very grateful for the support that we received at our Open House, Car Wash and Barbecue earlier today. Though the weather could have been better, you showed up and made it a huge success. The funds raised will go toward the radiator repair required to get Old Betsy running again.Thank you all so much for your continued support.

This is just to remind you of our Annual Open House, which is just over a week away.
We are hoping for a really good turn out as we really need your support this year. In less than a year we will be celebrating Old Betsy's long life span in the town of Capreol. In May of 2027 Old Betsy will have been a staple in Capreol for 100 years. The problem is that we need new radiator tanks for this truck to be running on its 100th Birthday. We have been quoted almost $13000.00 to make this happen. We don't have this much available. We are reaching out to our Community for help! Please share this and get as many people out to our Open House as possible. Thank you.

Wishing all of our 9-1-1 Dispatchers and Communicators a wonderful week. You are the lifeline for many callers, and Responders. This recognition is well deserved.🚨

Always ready. Always alert. Our 911 Emergency Communications Centre operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Behind every emergency call are our dedicated Communicators and Dispatchers, managing both 911 and non‑emergency lines while coordinating the rapid response of Police and Fire Services. Their vigilance is also essential in keeping our officers safe during fast‑moving, high‑risk situations.

📅 April 12–18, 2026 is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week 📅

This week, we honour the incredible work of our 911 Dispatchers and Communicators - the calm, steady voice in moments of crisis and the vital link between those in need and the help on the way.

They make split‑second, life‑saving decisions under immense pressure. Their expertise, compassion, and composure form the backbone of public safety and are essential to every emergency response.

To our 911 Dispatchers and Communicators: thank you for your tireless dedication, your courage under pressure, and your unwavering commitment to keeping our community safe. You are the unsung heroes of public safety.
