High winds from today’s storm have taken down a large tree across Bond Street in @towngfw. Silviculture crew on scene and road should be opened within an hour. Exercise caution when out and about in today’s high winds.
Headed to @MFCAFireChiefs meetings in NB and had the opportunity to take in the Nova Scotia Public Safety Field Communications Radio Interoperability forum while laying over in Halifax.
GF-W Fire and @FFA_GovNL returning from a late fall brush fire 3 km south west of town on Chipper Road. Crews extinguished fire in short order with one hose line at 500 gallons of water. @townofgfw
In Winnipeg attending @FireRescueCanada2025 today and participating in national board and advisory council meeting this morning. Especially proud to see the traction created by the National firefighter census project over the last 5 years .

As wildfires continue to challenge communities across the province, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the brave crews working tirelessly on the front lines.
Pictured here is the South End crew, whose dedication and courage in battling the Kingston wildfire have been instrumental in fire suppression efforts.

📢Public Advisory: Residents Asked to Limit Unnecessary Travel on Route 360
Due to the active wildfire near Martin Lake, residents who rely on Route 360 (Bay d’Espoir Highway) are asked to limit unnecessary travel on the highway at this time.
While the highway currently remains open, the ongoing wildfire situation could change at any time, which would result in an immediate closure of the road.
