Welcome to the Township of Emo

Update (2020/05/19 - 2:23 p.m.) The Hazard Level is at Extreme in Alberton, Chapple, Emo & La Vallee Townships. This means TOTAL FIRE BAN - NO FIRES PERMITTED.

It is critical that anyone planning to burn always check the current hazard rating as it is updated on a regular basis, based on real-time data.

The hazard level can be checked online at http://emo.burnpermits.com or by calling into the automated number on your permit, which is required to "activate" your permit prior to every burn.

The Township of Emo is looking for volunteers on the following committees:
