Welcome to the

Lunenburg Regional Fire and Emergency Services (LRFES)

Established in 2002, LRFES serves the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg and the Towns of Bridgewater, Lunenburg and Mahone Bay. With the support of MODL, we work collaboratively to meet our objectives:

To provide public safety services to our citizens that minimize losses and suffering through emergency service delivery, public education, public information, and community service activities;

To assist each member department by cooperatively developing common operating guidelines; planning training activities; planning and promoting group purchases; assisting each other through the exchange of information; and working to develop a coordinated response to all emergencies

Meetings are open to members, and held monthly on the third Thursday of each month at 7pm in the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg Council Chambers.

FIRE RESTRICTIONS

During wildfire risk season (15 March to 31 October*), open fires like domestic brush burning and campfires are never allowed between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm. After 2:00 pm, burn restrictions depend on the conditions. Burn restrictions are updated daily at 2:00 pm, except when a provincewide burn ban is in place (you also need to follow municipal bylaws for your area). To report a wildfire or violations of the fire restrictions, call 1-800-565-2224 or 911.
