Please, no burning in kings County today

Please note, there is no domestic burning between 8:00 A.M and 2:00 P.M daily, and restrictions are reassessed and posted everyday at 2:00 P.M; in fire risk season.

The restrictions apply to all open fires, which encompass campfires, fire pits, chimineas, fire bowls, and outdoor wood-burning stoves, along with burn barrels. Additionally, domestic brush burning and industrial burning activities, including those for agricultural purposes and clearing building lots, are subject to these rules.

To report a wildfire or violations of fire restrictions (including illegal burns), please call 1-800-565-2224, or 9-1-1. The Department of Natural Resources and Renewables (DNR) and/or the local fire department will be notified and dispatched to the location of the fire.

Consumer fireworks are prohibited by the Office of the Fire Marshal when the fire risk map is red. However, professional fireworks companies with permits and appropriate fire equipment and measures are allowed to use fireworks.

Additionally, you must also follow your municipal bylaws.

Our thoughts, and prayers are with the family, friends, and our brothers and Sisters in Kentville. Rest easy Brother

It is with profound sadness that we mourn the passing of active Kentville Firefighter James Belen, #243.

Today, the fire service has lost one of its own—a brother whose commitment to serving others will never be forgotten. James answered the call with courage, compassion, and dedication, leaving a lasting impact on those who had the privilege to serve alongside him. A true friend and someone who always found a way to help anyone in need. A selfless man to the end.

On behalf of our department, we extend our deepest condolences to James' family, friends, and colleagues. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. We will grieve alongside you.

May we honor his legacy by continuing to serve with the same selflessness and strength that he demonstrated throughout his life.

Rest easy, Firefighter Belen. Your watch is over. We have it from here.... XJH75 clear.
