All forest access roads that had remained closed as a result of the Paradise Lake and Bay d’Espoir Highway forest fires are scheduled to open at noon today (Friday, September 2).

In the Paradise Lake area, access to the end sections of some roads may be restricted due to safety concerns associated with helicopters engaged in monitoring activity.

Residents using re-opened forest access roads are asked to proceed with caution and be aware of forest firefighting crews who may be active in the region.
