💙 National Drowning Prevention Day 💙

Today, Northern Bruce Peninsula Fire & Emergency Services joins communities across Canada in recognizing National Drowning Prevention Day.

Whether you’re boating, paddling, swimming, or enjoying time at the shoreline, remember that drowning can happen quickly and quietly. A few simple steps can make all the difference:

🛟 Wear a properly fitted, Transport Canada-approved lifejacket or PFD.
🌊 Never swim alone—always use the buddy system.
🚤 Boat sober and avoid drugs or alcohol while on the water.
📱 Tell someone where you’re going and when you expect to return.
👀 Keep children within arm’s reach whenever they are near the water.
🌦️ Check the weather and water conditions before heading out.

Northern Bruce Peninsula is surrounded by some of the most beautiful—and unpredictable—waters in Ontario. Cold water, changing weather, and strong currents can quickly turn a great day into an emergency.

This National Drowning Prevention Day, make water safety a priority. Wear your lifejacket. Look out for one another. Help everyone get home safely.

Public Notice – Air Quality Advisory

Northern Bruce Peninsula is currently experiencing poor air quality due to wildfire smoke originating from Northern Ontario and Quebec.

As a precaution, Northern Bruce Peninsula Fire & Emergency Services recommends that residents and visitors limit open-air burning until air quality conditions improve. While no Fire Ban is currently in effect, the municipality's current Fire Danger Rating remains High.
If you choose to conduct open-air burning, please do so responsibly. Ensure your fire is attended at all times, keep it small and manageable, and have a reliable means of extinguishment, such as a water source or fire extinguisher, immediately available.

We appreciate everyone's cooperation in helping reduce unnecessary smoke and protecting the health and safety of our community. Fire conditions and air quality will continue to be monitored, and if a Fire Ban is implemented it will be communicated promptly.

As of June 1, 2026, at 12:00 hrs, the fire danger rating has been raised to MODERATE throughout the Municipality of Nort...

Members of Northern Bruce Peninsula Fire and Emergency Services spent the day training in Tobermory Harbour yesterday, sharpening their ice and cold-water rescue skills. Crews practiced rescuer entries, GO rescues, victim retrieval, patient packaging, and self-rescue techniques in realistic ice conditions.

Regular hands-on training like this ensures firefighters are prepared to respond safely and effectively to ice emergencies throughout the winter months.
