As many are aware, current conditions of high temperatures and lack of rainfall have increased the fire hazard levels across the region.

The Town of Carbonear are advising residents to exercise extreme caution at this time.  Due to the unusually dry conditions, the Town of Carbonear will not be issuing any open air fire permits.

The Town asks residents to refrain from the use of fireworks, fire pits and use of various types of outdoor fireplaces.  Additionally, please be fire safe when using propane devices i.e. Firepits and barbeques.  Keep a fire extinguisher or water hose close by just in case.

The Town of Carbonear appreciates the cooperation of residents to assist during this extreme dry time and in their support of the Carbonear Volunteer Fire Department.
