Message from the Fire Chief

Fire season is upon us once again and residents are asked to use common sense and good judgement when lighting any outdoor fire. A Permit to Burn is required, at no cost, for lighting outdoor fires for the purpose of clearing land or burning brush within 300 metres of forest land during the forest fire season. The lighting of fires for cooking and camping does not require a permit, but forest fire regulations must still be followed. The Forest Fire regulations may be found at the following link:  www.assembly.nl.ca/Legislation/sr/Regulations/rc960011.htm
