    Backyard fire pits with a proper spark arrestor as well as charcoal bbq's are once again permitted, and fireworks will be permitted.

    UPDATE: The Fire Ban which was in effect for the City of Corner Brook has been lifted, in accordance with guidance from our Provincial counterparts. The index moved to moderate, however the city decided to take their time in lifting this ban considering firefighting efforts at Wild Cove. Backyard fire pits with a proper spark arrestor as well as charcoal bbq's are once again permitted, and fireworks will be permitted.

    EARLIER STORY: A fire ban is in place in Corner Brook and will remain until further notice. This includes camp fires and backyard fires within City Limits. Burning permits are suspended. Barbeques, fireplaces and heaters fueled by propane are allowed, as well as similar outdoor camping stoves. They must be at least three metres away from anything that can burn. A hose or fire extinguisher should be kept nearby.
