NB Wildfires: Still Lit 🔥, But Under Control? 🤔

The 411 on the Wildfires

Aight, so New Brunswick is still dealing with some major heat – literally. As of Saturday, there are 16 active wildfires, which is actually a slight W 'cause it was 18 on Friday. But hold up, before you start celebrating, peep this: 2 of those fires are still totally out of control. We're talking Beaver Lake Stream (256) and Rocky Brook (281). These wildfires are wildin' out!

The good news? That Chief’s fire that was straight trippin' before is now contained. So, that's a W. Also, 10 are being patrolled and 4 are contained.

But listen up, this ain't a joke. The authorities are saying to avoid travel in those areas unless you absolutely HAVE to. Let the firefighters do their thing, ya feel? And remember that province-wide burn ban? Yeah, still a thing. Don't be sus and start a new fire.

Now, for the real talk: if you're near any of these wildfires, you gotta be ready to bounce at a moment's notice. Pack a bag with all the essentials – water, snacks, first aid – enough to last you at least 72 hours. Better safe than sorry, fam.

If you're tryna stay in the loop, hit up 1-833-301-0334, check the Fire Watch page, or peep the Public Fires Dashboard. Knowledge is power, y'all.

And to clarify some stuff: "out of control" means... well, exactly what it sounds like. They ain't got it tamed. "Contained" means they've got it surrounded, so it can't spread much more. "Being patrolled" means they're keeping an eye on it. All good to know, right?

So far, no evacuations are going down. But stay vigilant, keep your ears open, and don't be afraid to yeet outta there if things get too spicy.
