Today marks the end of Ontario’s 2026 legislated fire season.

Starting November 1, Ontario’s outdoor fire rules are no longer in effect. However, it’s still important to use caution when having an outdoor fire. 🔥

🚨 Restricted Fire Zone Update

The Restricted Fire Zone (RFZ) currently in place for the Northwest Region and a small portion of the Northeast Region will be revoked Thursday, August 20 at 12:01 a.m. local time.

Thank you to all East Gorham Residents for helping prevent wildland fires and keep our communities safe. 🙏

Even as the Restricted Fire Zone is lifted, please continue to use extreme caution with outdoor fires and follow Ontario’s Outdoor Fires Regulations: ontario.ca/outdoorfirerules

🔥 Wildland fire conditions will continue to be monitored closely. A Restricted Fire Zone may be reinstated in higher-risk areas if fire hazard and activity warrant it.

Stay safe and help prevent wildland fires.

🔥 Training Together. Protecting Together.

This past weekend, 7 members of the East Gorham Fire Team joined 58 fellow firefighters from across the region for SP-103 Wildland Fire Fighter Training for Fire Agencies.

In total, 65 firefighters representing 12 departments — Upsala, Nolalu, Neebing, Oliver Paipoonge, Shebandowan, O’Connor, Conmee, Pass Lake, East Gorham, Lappe, Kaministiquia, and Gillies — came together for two full days of learning, teamwork, and hands-on training.

A weekend of training means giving up personal time — and once again, these dedicated men and women showed up ready to learn, improve, and prepare to serve their communities. Training together strengthens our ability to work together when it matters most.

A huge thank you to all of the instructors and organizers who volunteered their time, knowledge, and expertise to make this training possible.

On behalf of the East Gorham Volunteer Fire Department, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to GlobalMedic and Air Canada Cargo for their generous support.

Thanks to GlobalMedic, our department has received fire-resistant wildland coveralls, providing our firefighters with enhanced protection while responding to wildland and grass fires. This donation continues their incredible support of our department, building on their previous donation of our wildland fire skid unit and further strengthening our wildland firefighting capabilities.

We also extend our appreciation to Air Canada Cargo for transporting this donation to Thunder Bay through their cargo network, helping ensure this vital equipment reached our department.

Thank you, GlobalMedic and Air Canada Cargo, for your continued commitment to supporting volunteer fire departments and the communities we proudly serve.

We would like to take the time to acknowledge and thank GlobalMedic for the amazing generosity towards us and many other fire departments. They have and are giving so many departments the ability to have an even faster respond and the ability to rapidly attack fires with limited personnel! Given the severity of the fire season to date, these fire skids will make a massive difference!

Thank you again and know we couldn’t be more thankful!
