It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of active firefighter Sam Llewellyn, following a courageous battle with firefighter-related cancer.

Sam proudly served the Italy Cross Fire Department for nearly 47 years — a lifetime of dedicated service to his community and his department. His commitment, sacrifice, and friendship will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace Sam, we will take it from here.

Our thoughts and condolences are with Sam’s family, friends, and all members of the fire service during this difficult time.

A burn ban is in effect

May 24: In the interest of public safety, domestic burning is NOT permitted in the following counties: Halifax, Hants, Lunenburg, Queens, Shelburne, & Yarmouth counties.

Restricted domestic burning is permitted between the hours of 7:00 P.M and 8:00 A.M in the following counties: All remaining counties in Nova Scotia.
—————————————————————
Please note, there is no domestic burning between 8:00 A.M and 2:00 P.M daily, and restrictions are reassessed and posted everyday at 2:00 P.M; in fire risk season.

The restrictions apply to all open fires, which encompass campfires, fire pits, chimineas, fire bowls, and outdoor wood-burning stoves, along with burn barrels. Additionally, domestic brush burning and industrial burning activities, including those for agricultural purposes and clearing building lots, are subject to these rules. Fire restrictions also apply to provincial, municipal, and private campgrounds, while national parks are governed by Parks Canada. However, the daily fire restrictions do not apply to CSA-approved appliances when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. This includes devices such as barbecues, fire bowls, stoves, and patio heaters that operate on propane, natural gas, or other gases intended for these appliances, with charcoal barbecues permitted only when using briquettes.

To report a wildfire or violations of fire restrictions (including illegal burns), please call 1-800-565-2224, or 9-1-1. The Department of Natural Resources and Renewables (DNR) and/or the local fire department will be notified and dispatched to the location of the fire.

Consumer fireworks are prohibited by the Office of the Fire Marshal when the fire risk map is red. However, professional fireworks companies with permits and appropriate fire equipment and measures are allowed to use fireworks.

Additionally, you must also follow your municipal bylaws.
