The River Hebert Fire Department is proud to announce the addition of our new Buddy Bag, an important resource that will help our first responders provide compassionate care and improve communication during emergencies.

The Buddy Bag is designed to assist individuals with special needs by including:
🧩 Nonverbal communication sheets
🧸 A comforting stuffed animal
🛏️ Blankets
🩹 Various other helpful supplies

In addition to supporting those with special needs, the Buddy Bag will also serve as a comfort bag for people of all ages who may be experiencing fear, anxiety, or emotional distress during an emergency.

At the River Hebert Fire Department, we are committed to serving our community with care, compassion, and understanding. We hope this new resource will provide reassurance and comfort when it’s needed most.

Because sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference.

—————————————————————

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.
