Due to the current fire bans and restrictions in the Coastal Fire Centre area, the Qualicum Beach Fire Department will be restricting fire-related activity in the Town.

The current fire bans and restrictions will prohibit Halloween fireworks on public or private lands, the annual Halloween Bonfire and Fireworks at the Community Park, and garden refuse fires.  

To keep the Halloween spirit alive Qualicum Beach fire trucks will be out in local neighbourhoods handing out candy and reminding residents of the ban on fireworks. 

Locations for fire trucks on Halloween, October 31:

• 3 pm to 5 pm - Town Hall
• 5 pm to 6 pm - Beach Road & Fifth Street, Sumac Drive, Ormonde Road & Chartwell Boulevard
• 6 pm to 7 pm - Lower Canyon Crescent, Primrose Street & Saturna Drive, Royal Dornoch Drive & Fairways Drive.

The current Coastal Fire Centre fire ban will not allow fire permits for garden refuse/agricultural clearing fires, usually allowed between October 15 to November 5. The next opportunity to apply for a garden refuse/ agricultural clearing fire permit will be between March 15 to April 5, 2023.  Other options to manage garden refuse before March 2023 include using the RDN Transfer Station located at 860 Church Road, or using the Town’s Curbside Chipping Program.
