Property owners can also protect their homes, neighborhoods, and communities from the threat of wildland fire by keeping a five-foot non-combustible zone around homes.
There have been 117 wild fires in NL so far this year, and two of them are being controlled. One in Churchill Falls and the other in Badger. An evacuation order was issued for Badger residents on Wednesday, June18th, after a lightning strike started a forest fire outside the town. On Friday, the order was lifted and people could return home. No structures or properties were affected. Meanwhile, the Fire Commissioner NL strongly recommends that municipalities, organizations and individuals refrain from any open fires or discharging of fireworks. All residents are asked to take steps to ensure their own personal safety and always have a basic emergency kit available. Be prepared for at least 72 hours, with food, water, batteries, a portable radio, important documents and prescription medications.
