Quebec Broadens Fire Ban Amid Wildfire Crisis | Montreal News
Description
Quebec’s Domestic Security Minister has expanded a ban on open fires across northern regions due to dangerously dry conditions primed for wildfires. With 182 active fires north of the St. Lawrence and 6 in the south, SOPFEU warns that smoking, campfires, and trash burning are leading causes — already sparking 131 fires this year alone. Over 376,000 hectares have burned since season start, underscoring that fire risk is statewide. Officials urge everyone to comply — collective action is critical to stopping the spread.
