Madawaska Valley Fire Chief Corwin Quade advises residents that the Fire Risk Level is now at is lowest — GREEN. Image at right Burning is now allowed day or night without a permit. Permits will not be required until April 1 2022. The Township signs and website are being updated.
He says, “The ground is wet, and people have been very cautious again this year. I would like to thank everyone their co-operation and understanding. MV Fire Dept. only responded to two very small wildfires this season.”
Hunters: Fire safety for your trailer and hunt camp
Chief Quade reminds hunters that trailers and hunt camps require a smoke alarm as they are no different than a cottage or a house. Carbon monoxide alarms are also required if you use propane, oil or wood for heat or cooking. Remember: When an alarm sounds you have less than a minute to escape from a fire. He issues this reminder for everyone as “things can go wrong in a hurry.”
