    Summer conditions are gradually settling in the Mauricie region. Rain is expected in parts of the region over the weekend, however the fire danger is likely to rise again early next week with the return of nice weather.

    While waiting for the full spring leaf out and during periods of nice weather, the vegetation becomes highly flammable. The risk is real. In these conditions, it only takes one spark: a discarded cigarette butt or an improperly extinguished fire can quickly ignite a wildfire. Be extra vigilant. Before any activity in or near forested areas, check the restrictions in place and adjust your behaviour accordingly. Every action counts in preventing wildfires.
