    Summer conditions are now well established in the region. Leaf development is helping reduce the potential for vegetation fire spread.

    A low-pressure system affecting Québec between Friday and Monday will bring rainfall, increasing relative humidity, and cooler temperatures beginning Saturday. Isolated thunderstorms are also possible.

    Fire danger is expected to remain low throughout the period.

    Rainfall received over the weekend resulted in a significant reduction in fire danger. Summer conditions are now well established, and leaf development is helping reduce the vulnerability of surface fuels to vegetation fires.

    The return of fair weather today and tomorrow will promote some drying of fuels, but the effects of recent rainfall will continue to be felt.

    With a cold front expected Wednesday and Thursday, additional precipitation may affect the region. Fire danger is expected to move from low today to moderate levels over the next few days. These forecasts may change depending on the precipitation received.

    No fires have been reported in the region since Monday.

    Summer conditions are now well established in the Laval region. Leaf emergence continues to reduce the vulnerability of surface fuels.

    Showers and a few thunderstorms are possible over the next few days before fair weather returns on Sunday. Rapid drying of vegetation is then expected.

    Fire danger is expected to reach high to very high levels during the period. These forecasts may change depending on the amount of precipitation received.

    Summer conditions are now well established in the Laval region. Leaf emergence is helping reduce the potential spread of vegetation fires.

    Despite the possibility of isolated showers, weather conditions will remain generally warm and dry. Fire danger is expected to range from moderate to high over the next few days.

    As the Laval region is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this territory are very rare. Vegetation fires that may occur generally happen in fields or small wooded areas.

    Rainfall received over the past few days has helped maintain low fire danger levels in the Laval region.

    Weather conditions through early next week are expected to remain generally cool and humid, with alternating periods of rainfall and sunshine. Fire danger is expected to remain low.

    Precipitation received over the past few days has helped maintain low fire danger levels in the Laval region.

    Despite slightly drier conditions today, fire danger is expected to remain between low and moderate over the next few days due to the return of showers and thunderstorms forecast over southern Québec.

    As the Laval region is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this territory are very rare. Vegetation fires that may occur generally happen in fields or small wooded areas.

  • 22MAY 202614h00

    Weather conditions expected over the next few days will contribute to a significant increase in fire danger in the Laval region due to the absence of precipitation, moderate to strong northwest winds, low relative humidity and progressively warmer temperatures.

    Dead vegetation found in green spaces and small wooded areas could therefore dry out quickly and become increasingly flammable by the end of the week.

    Precipitation associated with a low-pressure system could nevertheless affect southwestern Québec beginning Sunday and help reduce fire danger.

  • 19MAY 202611h00

    Fire danger is expected to remain generally low in the Laval region over the next few days due to recent precipitation and continued relatively humid conditions.

    However, a gradual return to drier and sunnier weather beginning mid-week could contribute to the drying of dead vegetation in green spaces and small wooded areas.

    Fire danger remains low in the Laval region due to the cooler and wetter conditions associated with the low-pressure system affecting southern Québec.

    However, a gradual return to drier and sunnier conditions is expected over the next few days. Dead vegetation may then dry out quickly and contribute to vegetation fire starts in green spaces and small wooded areas.

    As the Laval region is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this territory are very rare. Vegetation fires that may occur generally happen in fields or small wooded areas.

  • 07MAY 202610h00

    The fire danger is currently low in the Laval region. However, a return to sunnier and windier weather conditions over the next few days is expected to gradually increase the fire danger.

    Rainfall expected toward the end of the week should help lower the risk afterward.

    As the Laval region is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this territory are very rare. Vegetation fires that may occur generally happen in fields or small wooded areas.

    Spring conditions are now well established in the Laval region, and the fire danger could increase in the coming days due to the forecast of warm, dry weather.

    Since the Laval region is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this area are very rare. Any vegetation fires that do occur generally take place in fields or small wooded areas.

    However, in the spring, dead vegetation dries out quickly, and vegetation fires remain possible during periods of good weather.

  • 17APR 202615h00

    With snow cover now gone in Laval, spring conditions conducive to vegetation fires are present. SOPFEU has therefore begun publishing the Fire Danger Index in this region.

    In spring, as soon as warm weather arrives, vigilance is required. Dead vegetation (brush, dry leaves, etc.) tends to dry out very quickly under the effects of sun and wind, becoming highly flammable.

    As Laval is essentially an urban region, SOPFEU interventions there are very rare. Vegetation fires that do occur typically take place in fields or small wooded areas and are usually handled by the Laval Fire Department.
