Newfoundland firefighting efforts push on as New Brunswick bans woods activities
August 9, 2025
Firefighters battling out-of-control wildfires in Newfoundland were facing windy and dry conditions Saturday, while ongoing dry conditions in New Brunswick prompted officials to issue a ban on activities in the woods on provincially owned land.
Three ongoing fires in Newfoundland have forced hundreds of people to evacuate their communities. Two are on the Avalon Peninsula in the Conception Bay North area and to the south near Holyrood. A third fire in central Newfoundland, south of Bishop’s Falls, was reported on Tuesday afternoon.
