Open air fire bans have been lifted in a number of area communities the area, including North Bay.

Bans are still in place in several areas.  The full list is below.

Officials with the Nipissing-East Parry Sound Mutual Aid say conditions are dry and will remain so until we receive significant rainfall.

They say the ban is complete and that means no fireworks and no open burning even for cooking or warmth.
