| Question: |
How do I become a volunteer fire fighter? |

You must live close to either the Kleinburg or
Woodbridge Fire Stations. Your application may be submitted
at any time. |
| Question: |
Do I need a permit to burn garden waste in my
yard? |
| Answer: |
Yes. Homeowners/occupants may apply at any fire
station, pay $25 fee and have a small fire to burn vegetation
yard waste only. Commercial land-clearing operations may
apply to the Fire Prevention Division for a special permit,
for a fee of $600. Burning without a permit is a violation
of the Ontario Code and City of Vaughan By-Law. |
| Question: |
Do I need smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors
in my home? |
| Answer: |
Yes. Both types of detectors are required in every
residential occupancy in the City of Vaughan. |
| Question: |
Can I possess and set-off family fireworks in
Vaughan? |
| Answer: |
Yes, but you may only purchase/possess family
fireworks for five days before Victoria Day and Canada Day.
Fireworks may be set-off only on these two days -- and
only on your private property -- not on City streets or parks,
etc. Otherwise, an application from a licensed Fireworks
supervisor, together with the $150 fee, must be submitted to
the Fire prevention Division, for a Fireworks Permit. |
| Question: |
Can my kids visit a fire station? |
| Answer: |
Yes, but younger children must be accompanied
by an adult. Individuals or families may drop in any time.
Small organized groups may make an appointment by calling the
Secretary to the Fire Chief at 905-832-8506 ext. 6304. For a
