Change in fire ban procedure for Gander – Summer 2025

Gander Fire Rescue (GFR) is changing how fire bans are implemented in our community. GFR will now follow the Provincial Fire Hazard Map in applying fire bans in Gander. View the map at gov.nl.ca/fire-hazard-map

What this means:

- A fire ban is automatically in effect whenever Gander is listed as “Very High” or “Extreme” on the Provincial Fire Hazard Map.

- The Provincial Fire Hazard Map is the official place to check fire ban status for Gander.

Will Gander Fire Rescue still post on Facebook?

- Yes. GFR may continue to share updates on its Facebook page to help keep residents informed. However, these posts are just reminders. The Provincial Fire Hazard Map is the official source for determining when a fire ban is in effect, and residents should rely on it for up-to-date information.

Can GFR still issue local bans?

- Yes. If local conditions call for it, GFR can still issue a ban even if the province hasn’t.
