Ottawa fire has extended an open-air burn ban for the Capital.
A full ban is now in effect, including for properties with an open air permit.
Fire officials say dry conditions in the region make burning dangerous.
All fires, including agricultural burns, brush pile burns, and campfires, are banned until further notice.
