Capitale-Nationale

Summer-like conditions are prevailing in the region. Under these conditions, surface fires (dead leaves, brush, etc.) are less common, as the greenery and leafing of trees and shrubs are now complete. However, any fires that may occur are likely to burn deeper and be more intense.

The leafing of trees and the emergence of greenery are now well underway and nearly complete in the region. As a result, summer-like conditions are now present. Under these circumstances, surface fires (dead leaves, brush, etc.) are already less frequent; however, any fires that may occur are likely to burn deeper into the ground and be more intense.

Leaf-out and the emergence of greenery are now well underway in the southern parts of the region, bringing summer-like conditions. In these areas, surface fires (involving dead leaves, brush, etc.) are already less frequent. However, any fires that do occur are more likely to burn deeper and with greater intensity.

Spring conditions, however, are still present in other parts of the region. In spring conditions, it’s important to remain vigilant as soon as the weather improves. Dead vegetation (brush, fallen leaves, etc.) tends to dry out very quickly with just a bit of sun and wind, becoming highly flammable.

Spring conditions are now well established in the region. As soon as the warm weather sets in, it’s important to remain vigilant. Dead vegetation—such as brush and fallen leaves—can dry out very quickly with just a bit of sun and wind, making it highly flammable.

In the southern portion of Capitale-Nationale, snow has melted, and spring conditions now favour vegetation fires. SOPFEU has started publishing the fire danger index in this area.

In spring, as soon as the nice weather returns, it’s important to stay alert. Dead vegetation—such as dry grass, brush, and dead leaves—can dry out very quickly with just a bit of sun and wind, becoming highly flammable.

Le couvert de neige est toujours présent en forêt dans la région de la Capitale-Nationale. 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.
