BURN PERMIT REQUIRED STARTING MAY 1
(April 30th)

A few fire departments across the island, including the Bay De Grave Regional Fire Department and the Marystown Volunteer Fire Department, have issued a public notice advising residents that, effective May 1, all open fires will be prohibited.

According to the departments, individuals wishing to burn will be required to obtain a permit from forestry authorities before doing so. The measure is being put in place to reduce fire risks as conditions become more prone to wildfire activity.

Residents are urged to follow the regulations and ensure they have the proper authorization before lighting any fires.

Fires in approved fire pits are permitted as long as the daily fire rating permits - https://www.gov.nl.ca/fal/public-education/forestry/forest-fires/fire-hazard-map/

Residents are also asked to check their local fire department websites or social media platforms to ensure these regulations are followed to their areas.

Good day everyone, just wanted to share this again as in the upcoming week it’s calling for super hot dry weather. We’ve been doing great in our area so far so let’s keep it up. Please be very careful with use of Atv’s it’s very very dry and won’t take much to get things going. Also be very careful with ci******es. Let’s do our best to keep our little town safe. Thanks and enjoy your weekend everyone 😁 and if for any reason anyone suspects a fire or see a fire please reach out to us asap. The faster we find out the better chance we have 709 543-2600 or 911

Where everything is so dry the fire ban will remain in effect for the Town of Port Blandford.
