Montréal

Summer-like conditions are prevailing in the region. Under these conditions, surface fires (dead leaves, brush, etc.) are less common, as greenery and the leafing of trees and shrubs are now complete. However, any fires that may occur are more likely to burn deeper into the ground and be more intense.

It’s worth noting that since the Montréal area is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this territory are very rare. Vegetation fires that do occur are generally found in fields or small wooded areas. These fires are usually handled by the Montréal Fire Department.

Spring conditions are now well established in the Montréal area. As soon as the nice weather sets in, it’s important to remain vigilant. Dead vegetation—such as brush and fallen leaves—can dry out very quickly with a bit of sun and wind, becoming highly flammable.

Le couvert de neige est toujours présent dans les secteurs boisés de la région de Montréal. Le risque de feux de forêt y est donc inexistant. La diffusion de l’indice du danger d’incendie pour cette région n’est donc pas encore commencée.

Notons que la région montréalaise étant essentiellement urbaine, les interventions de la SOPFEU sur ce territoire sont très rares. Les feux de végétation qui peuvent s’y produire surviennent généralement dans des champs ou de petits boisés. Ces incendies sont habituellement pris en charge par le Service de sécurité incendie de Montréal.
