Wildfire Season

It's not even mid-May and a serious bush fire occurred in North Oyster on Sunday with three Fire Depts responding .  

The Sunday sun and heat saw our area nearing the "30/30" crossover...meaning that the temperature approached 30 degrees Celsius and the humidity dropped to close to or even below 30%.  

The 30/30 crossover means that fires will start faster and we should expect severe burning conditions, erratic fire behaviour, and rapid rate of spread. Please be very careful with your campfire sparks and embers.  If you haven't finished your yard cleanup from winter storms, consider chipping the limbs and branches or burying them.  

Never leave a Fire unattended. Wildfire season is upon us early so we must be extra cautious.
