Another quiet year for Forest Fires


There isn't the concern there used to be about this years forest fire season.

After a busy start, rain has kept the Northwest Region's fire hazard in the mostly low to moderate range.  Debbie McLean of the Ministry of Natural Resources that's keeping the number of fires relatively low

So far this year, there has been just over 300 forest fires reported in the west fire region.

There were no new forest fires reported in the region over the weekend and all the rain yesterday
is expected to keep the fire hazard low for the next couple of days.
