🚨 Township Update – Wildland Fire 🚨

The Greater Madawaska Fire Department responded to a fire on High Lane. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has assumed control.

We remind all residents to avoid any open burning during high winds, as conditions can change quickly and increase fire risk.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates if needed.
