With the current dry conditions, the Town of Carbonear in consultation with the Carbonear Volunteer Fire Department is implementing a Fire Ban effective immediately.

Currently on the Fire Hazard Forecast Map our Town is in the area shaded yellow for Very High hazard.

“The fire risk is serious. Forest vegetation is very dry and fires will start easily, burn vigorously, and challenge fire suppression efforts. Burning Permits are suspended, open fires including campfires are prohibited and industrial activities may be restricted. Exercise extreme caution when conducting activities on forested land.”
