NB is Burning! 🔥 37 Wildfires and the Vibe is NOT Good

The Deets

Okay, so New Brunswick is straight up having a moment. We're talking 37 active wildfires, which is already a major L. But get this – 6 of those are straight up out of control. The fire deets are all over, from Old Field Road to Moose Brook 2, so you know it's spread out.

The good-ish news? No buildings have gone poof and no one's seriously hurt (except for some firefighters dealing with heat exhaustion, which is rough). But Lavillette is on evacuation advisory, which is basically like, "Pack your bags, just in case." They're saying to get your emergency kit ready with all the necessities, 'cause you never know.

Miramichi's tryna keep everyone in the loop with Voyent Alerts, so sign up for that ASAP. Also, they're begging everyone to chill with the water usage. Like, no washing your whip or watering the lawn, okay? The air quality is also looking kinda sus, so if you got the asthma or other health issues, stay inside, fr.

And listen up, wildlife is getting displaced, so if you see a bear or something, DO NOT FEED IT. That's just asking for trouble. Call the authorities if you see something huge or dangerous.

Oh, and BTW, a provincewide burn ban is in effect. So, no bonfires, no camping (except in official campgrounds), and definitely no forestry operations. All Crown lands are closed too, meaning no hiking, fishing, or driving around in the woods. Some trails in Miramichi are closed off, too. Don't be that person ignoring the signs!

Bottom line: stay away from the fires, give the firefighters space, and don't be a "fire tourist." This ain't a spectator sport, it's a crisis.
