CORNER BROOK LIFTS FIRE BAN AS WILD COVE FIRE CONTINUES
(June 5th)

The fire ban for the City of Corner Brook has officially been lifted as firefighting efforts continue at the Wild Cove Waste Disposal Site on the North Shore Highway in western Newfoundland.

City officials announced the decision Friday evening, saying the ban was removed in accordance with guidance from provincial officials after the fire index moved to a moderate level earlier in the day. Officials noted they chose to take additional time before lifting the restrictions due to the ongoing wildfire response at Wild Cove.

“At this time we are fully confident things are under control, and it is safe to lift our ban,” officials said in a statement.

With the ban now lifted, backyard fire pits equipped with a proper spark arrestor are once again permitted, along with charcoal barbecues and fireworks.

Meanwhile, firefighters continue working to fully extinguish remaining fire and hotspots at the Wild Cove Waste Disposal Site. A water bomber from the Department of Forestry responded to the scene earlier today and assisted crews by wetting down the area to help prevent the fire from spreading further.

Officials say the fire is currently contained, and efforts are now focused on completely extinguishing the remaining hotspots.
