The snow has melted in the southern part of the Outaouais region, leading to spring conditions that may result in vegetation fires. SOPFEU has started sharing the fire danger index for this area.

In spring, as soon as the nice weather returns, it’s important to stay alert. Dead vegetation—such as dry grass, brush, and dead leaves—can dry out very quickly with just a bit of sun and wind, becoming highly flammable.

    Snow cover is still present in forested areas across many parts of the Outaouais region. As a result, the wildfire risk remains non-existent. However, the publication of the Fire Danger Index may begin soon in the Gatineau area, where the forest snow cover is starting to disappear. Check the Fire Danger Map for updates.

    Le couvert de neige est toujours très présent en forêt dans la région de l'Outaouais. 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.
