‘No words’: Newfoundland officials assess fire damage, will notify more residents of lost homes

August 18, 2025

More residents on the northern coast of Newfoundland’s Conception Bay will learn if their homes are still standing in the wake of an out-of-control wildfire that has destroyed buildings and forced thousands to flee.

The province has so far confirmed that 98 structures equipped with power meters have been lost to the Kingston wildfire, which has been burning for three weeks and is now 9,850 hectares.
