Snow cover is still present in most forested areas across the Gaspésie – Îles-de-la-Madeleine region. As a result, the risk of wildfires remains non-existent.

However, in the Baie-des-Chaleurs area, the snow has melted and spring conditions favourable to vegetation fires have begun to set in. The SOPFEU has therefore started publishing the fire danger rating for this sector.

In the spring, as soon as the weather warms up, it's important to stay vigilant. Dead vegetation (such as dry grass, leaves, etc.) tends to dry out very quickly with a bit of sun and wind, becoming highly flammable.
