Forest Fire Season Starts Tomorrow

Forest fire season around the Province gets started tomorrow and runs until Halloween. Charles Beaulieu is a wild-fire prevention officer and tells us, grass and brush fires started by home-owners are a huge problem.

Last year, 251 hectares of wooded area were lost because of 195 forest fires but Beaulieu calls that a slow year due to all the rain. To find out if your in an area that does allow burning, you can call 1-866-458-8080.
