FIRE BAN IS NOW IN EFFECT

Fisheries and Land Resources
April 22, 2020
Public Advisory: Open Fire Ban Now in Effect for Entire Province
A ban on open fires is now in effect for all of Newfoundland and Labrador. The ban specifically prohibits the setting of all open fires on forest land or within 300 meters of forest land for all regions of the province. The declaration will remain in effect until September 30 and includes a ban on GRASS BURNING, BRUSH BURNING, CAMPFIRES and PERSONAL FIREWORKS. Gas barbeques and CSA approved patio wood burning devices are excluded from the ban, except in municipalities that have issued a ban for these devices.

Historically, 80 per cent of forest fires in the province are caused by people. The open fire ban has been declared with the goal of reducing the number of wildfires requiring action by Fisheries and Land Resources fire staff, local and volunteer fire departments, and other first responders during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and is consistent with actions being taken by other forest fire fighting agencies in Canada to lower the risks associated with COVID-19 exposure.

The minimum fine associated with the violation of the fire ban proclamation is $1000. The Department of Fisheries and Land Resources has already recorded five wildfires this year related to burning of grass by individuals.

The public are encouraged to report any wildfires or any open burning being conducted in violation of the fire ban by calling 1-866-709-FIRE (3473) or their nearest local Forestry and Wildlife District Office.
