Montréal

No fires have been reported in the region since Monday.

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

A low-pressure system will bring scattered showers and possible thunderstorms on Friday and Saturday. Beginning Sunday, the return of fair weather will promote rapid drying of forest fuels.

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 Montréal region. Leaf emergence is gradually reducing the vulnerability of surface fuels to vegetation fires.

Over the next few days, despite the possibility of isolated showers or thunderstorms, conditions will remain generally warm and dry. Fire danger is expected to range from moderate to high across the region.

As the Montréal region is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this territory are very rare. Vegetation fires that may occur are generally handled by the Montréal Fire Department.

Rainfall received over the past few days has helped maintain low fire danger levels in the Montréal 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 Montréal 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 Montréal region is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this territory are very rare. Vegetation fires that may occur are generally handled by the Montréal Fire Department.

Weather conditions expected over the next few days will contribute to a significant increase in fire danger in the Montréal 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.

Fire danger is expected to remain generally low in the Montréal 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.

As the Montréal region is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this territory are very rare. Vegetation fires that may occur are generally handled by the Montréal Fire Department.

Fire danger remains low in the Montréal 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, fields and small wooded areas.

The fire danger is currently low in the Montréal 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 Montréal 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. These fires are usually handled by the Montréal Fire Department.

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

In the spring, as soon as the weather improves, vigilance is essential. Dead vegetation (brush, fallen leaves, etc.) tends to dry out very quickly under the influence of the sun and wind. It then becomes highly flammable.

Since the Montreal area is primarily urban, SOPFEU (Quebec's forest fire prevention agency) interventions in this territory are very rare. Vegetation fires that do occur generally take place in fields or small wooded areas. These fires are usually handled by the Montreal Fire Department.

With snow cover now gone in Montreal, 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 Montreal 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.
