Open fire is prohibited during a wildfire warning.

Additionally, during the wildfire warning, lighting fires at the city-maintained fireplaces is not allowed.

For the definition of an open fire and more information about the wildfire warning, please refer to the Kanta-Häme Rescue Department’s announcement, ‘The wildfire season has started – The igniter is always responsible for the fire they start.’ (information available in Finnish).

The firewood boxes at the city-maintained fireplaces have been locked due to the ongoing wildfire warning and will be reopened for use when making fires at these places is permitted again.
