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.

🚨 Thin Ice Warning 🚨

Miramichi Fire would like to remind you that with warmer temperatures arriving, ice on lakes, ponds, and rivers is rapidly weakening. What looks solid may only be a thin surface layer.

❗ Stay off the ice during the spring thaw.
❗ Keep children and pets away from frozen water.
❗ Avoid ATVs, snowmobiles, or walking on ice at this time of year.

Remember: No ice is safe ice during thaw conditions.

If you see someone fall through the ice:
📞 Call 911 immediately
🪢 Do not go onto the ice—use a rope, ladder, or long object from shore if possible

January was a busy month for our members, with a 57.4% increase compared to January 2024 and 2025.

All of this while operating at half the staffing level recommended by national standards.

As infrastructure and service demands continue to grow, increased staffing is essential to safely and effectively meet the needs of our community. The need to strengthen our team continues to grow.

**Public Safety Notice**

The Miramichi Police Force is advising motorists to stay off the roads if possible. Roadways are extremely icy due to current weather conditions and are expected to worsen before improving.

If travel is unavoidable, please use extreme caution. Your cooperation helps keep everyone safe.
