Re: Structure Fire – 14 Howard Street

At approximately 1:30pm Miramichi Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire at 14 Howard St in Miramichi.

Crews remain on scene of a large fire involving an abandoned building, which had been slated for demolition in the coming weeks.

Due to safety concerns, interior operations had transitioned to defensive tactics early into the incident. After several hours of high-volume water use of approximately 3,000 gallons per minute, efforts have been reduced to limit strain on the municipal water system. Crews continue to monitor the fire and have aerial master streams standing by for ongoing fire suppression as needed.

Miramichi Police Force also remain on scene to assist Miramichi Fire Department with traffic control and public safety.

Residents are asked to avoid the area as crews continue operations.
