Fire Ban In Effect - June 16

A fire ban is in effect for the St. John’s Regional Fire Department Region including St. John’s, Mount Pearl, and Paradise until Thursday, June 19, 2025.

🚫 Not allowed:
• Outdoor wood-burning appliances
• Charcoal BBQs

The SJRFD reminds you to be fire safe when using propane firepits and barbeques, to keep a hose or fire extinguisher handy and follow manufacturer’s requirements regarding clearances from combustible materials. Also, we would like to remind citizens that, if you smoke, do not throw your lit cigarette butt on the ground or out of a vehicle window.

The SJRFD will monitor this situation closely over the next few days and encourages residents to check social media for updates on Facebook.
