Community Notice – Grass Fire Ban
Grass Fire Ban – Effective Immediately
Community Notice:
The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government (LMG), in partnership with the Listuguj Fire Department, Listuguj Police Department, and Bylaw Enforcement, is issuing an immediate ban on all grass fires within the community.
Effective immediately, grass fires are strictly prohibited on all private properties, as well as on any lands or properties managed by the LMG.
This ban is being enforced for the health, safety, and environmental protection of our community. Increasingly dry conditions and high winds make grass fires more dangerous and harder to control, placing additional stress on our fire department. Fires can spread quickly, putting nearby homes and structures at risk. Fires can also pose a risk to people with respiratory conditions such as COPD and asthma.
We kindly ask all residents to respect this ban and refrain from starting any grass fires. Your cooperation is essential in helping us keep our community safe.
If you witness a grass fire or someone attempting to start one, please contact the Listuguj Police Department’s non-emergency line at 418-788-2334.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support in protecting our community.
