Mayne Island Fire Rescue

Mayne Island Fire Rescue responded to another unattended outdoor fire yesterday. This is the third in the last 10 days. With the extreme fire danger rating, this behaviour poses a major risk to our community. ALL outdoor burning is prohibited until October (at the earliest).

Please do not hesitate to call 911 if you suspect an outdoor fire of any type (aside from propane fire pits, which are allowed). It is the quick actions of bystanders that have prevented these fires from getting out of control.
