Laval

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.

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.
