The fire ban remains in effect for the subway

The fire ban remains in effect for the Metro area.

The St. John’s Regional Fire Service says there is a high risk of fire under current conditions and the forecast ahead due to the lack of heavy rain in contrast to the dry heat of the past two weeks.

The ban covers backyard fire pits, fireplaces, charcoal barbecues and open fires.

The fire department is also asking people to use caution when using propane fireplaces and barbecues.
