(Source: City of Fredericton) In response to the Government of New Brunswick's announcement of an extreme wildfire hazard and the closure of all Crown lands, the cities of Fredericton and Saint John are taking steps to support wildfire prevention. In a news release, the City of Fredericton said it is placing restrictions on trail use at Odell and Killarney Lake parks. 'All trails at Odell and Killarney Lake Park are closed,' states the release. 'The closure does not apply to the beach and lake at Killarney Lake.' The city says all other trails remain open at this time, but the Fredericton Fire Department will continue to monitor conditions and adjust as required. The Fredericton Police Force will also continue to visit known encampment areas to reinforce the importance of the fire ban, says the release. Saint John The City of Saint John says it will be closing all walking and biking trails at Rockwood Park, Tucker Park and Little River Reservoir in response to the provincial burn ban, effective at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 11. 'We understand that this may not be the news some residents want to hear, and we realize it is the height of enjoying summer activities and being outdoors. Our region, and the province, are under the threat of wildfires due to severe dry conditions and keeping our residents, communities, parks, wetlands, and recreational areas safe are most important,' stated the city in a Sunday news release. As an alternative to visiting wooded areas, the city is encouraging residents to head to one of the beaches around Saint John, walk along Harbour Passage or visit one of the splashpads. According to the release, city officials will also be working closely with front-line agencies to ensure encampment residents stay safe and are made aware of the situation.

SiRT finds no grounds to charge Fredericton police officer with breach of trust
The waiting area of the Serious Incident Response Team, the province's independent police watchdog agency, is seen in Halifax on Wednesday, April 18, 2018. The director of the Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) has found no reasonable grounds to believe a member of the Fredericton Police Force was involved in a possible breach of trust. During a drug investigation in 2023, Fredericton police executed a search warrant at a residence of an adult male who was known to police. Police seized four cellphones as part of the search. One of the seized phones was reviewed in May 2024 and photographs of an officer's personal computer were found on it. 'The photos contained sensitive and privileged police information,' a news release from SiRT said. Metadata confirmed the photos of the computer were taken at the residence where the search warrant was executed, leading investigators to conclude the officer's computer had ended up inside the home. SiRT says management with the Fredericton Police Force questioned the officer about how the computer had ended up at the home of the accused. He told them he had once purchased an older model Apple computer and may have accessed work emails on it. His wife later confirmed she had thrown out the old Apple computer in August 2023. She said she didn't think the computer worked and hadn't been used in years so she didn't bother to erase the hard drive. Fredericton police referred the matter to SiRT in June 2024 and it launched an investigation. SiRT determined someone had found the computer in a dumpster and later gave it to the accused to pay off a debt they owed. It found the officer didn't give the computer to the accused and didn't know the accused had it in his possession. While the police watchdog believes the officer acted carelessly, it doesn't believe the officer's actions were criminal, so he won't be charged with breach of trust. SiRT also noted it was not able to locate the computer in question to extract additional evidence. The SiRT released a full summary of the investigation.
