The Pouch Cove Volunteer Fire Department wishes to advise all citizens that due to the high fire hazard rating for our Region, as identified by the province, a fire ban is currently in effect within the Region, which includes the Town of Pouch Cove, Town Of Bauline and Marine Park – Pouch Cove
The fire ban will remain in effect for a minimum of 5 days, with an update to be provided in the afternoon of June 3/2025. This includes outdoor wood-burning appliances, charcoal BBQs, and open fires. Propane firepits and BBQs are permitted.
In the meantime, the PCVFD is asking people to be fire safe when using propane firepits and barbeques, to keep a hose or fire extinguisher handy, and follow the manufacturer’s requirements regarding clearances from combustible materials.
PCVFD will monitor this situation closely over the next week and will update residents of any changes to the ban.
