Abitibi-Témiscamingue

Latest news

Snow cover also remains widespread in the forests across most of the Abitibi–Témiscamingue region, making the wildfire risk currently non-existent.

However, in the Témiscamingue area, the snow has melted and spring conditions conducive to vegetation fires have started to appear. SOPFEU has therefore begun publishing the fire danger index for this sector.

In the spring, as soon as the nice weather arrives, it’s important to stay alert. Dead vegetation (brush, dry leaves, etc.) tends to dry out very quickly with a bit of sun and wind, making it highly flammable.

    Le couvert de neige est toujours présent en forêt dans la région de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Le risque de feux de forêt y est donc inexistant. La diffusion de l’indice du danger d’incendie pour cette région n’est donc pas encore commencée.
