I'd like to build on this message from Forestry, Agriculture and Lands NL... tomorrow will be warm, dry and breezy. Those are the three ingredients needed for any fire that is not very well contained to spread out of control.

Tomorrow (May 6, 2026) IS NOT a good day to have a fire.

Yes, we had a lot of snow this winter. Yes, we are in a better position than this time last year. And yes, even though we had that snow, wildfires can still start and spread.

Summer is coming, and so is the warmer, dryer weather. Just because it’s not forest fire season yet, doesn’t mean the risk is not still there for out of control brush/wildfires.

LOON BAY VFD is reminding all residents to use caution when having outdoor fires.
A small fire can quickly get out of control if not properly managed. To help keep our community safe:
* Use an enclosed, screened fire pit.
* Check wind conditions prior to burning.
* Never leave any fire unattended — even for a short period of time.
* Always have a sufficient extinguishing agent nearby, such as water, a charged garden hose, or a fire extinguisher
* Ensure your fire is completely extinguished before leaving the area.

Taking a few simple precautions can prevent dangerous situations and protect lives, property, and our community and prevent our firefighters from having to battle these blazes.

If a fire becomes unsafe or unmanageable, call 911 immediately.

Stay safe and be responsible
