Mauricie

Spring conditions are now well established in the Mauricie region, and the fire danger rating system continues to be updated.

In springtime, dead vegetation dries out quickly under the effects of sun and wind, making it highly flammable and increasing the risk of fire starts.

Snow cover has disappeared in the southern part of the region. The calculation of the fire danger index has therefore begun in these areas.

However, the vast majority of the region is still under winter conditions, with snow still well present in forested areas. The risk of wildfires there is therefore nonexistent.
