The fire ban declared June 6 in Greater Sudbury was lifted Friday.

“The fire hazard has improved with sufficient rain in the forecast,” the city said in a news release.

“Campfires, chiminea fireplaces, crop residue fires and other types of outdoor burning are permitted.”

The city said it will continue to monitor the fire hazard status and will inform residents should the fire ban be reinstated.
