The risk of wildfires is rising in parts of southwestern Quebec due to dry and sunny weather, according to the province's forest fire protection agency, SOPFEU.
Current Conditions
Dry air and abundant sunshine are contributing to elevated fire danger in several sectors. SOPFEU advises that even small sparks could ignite fast-spreading fires under these conditions.
Residents are reminded to avoid outdoor burning and to properly dispose of cigarettes and other potential ignition sources. The agency continues to monitor the situation closely.
