With warm, windy weather on the way, the Northwest Fire Centre is urging the public and industry to avoid open burning over the next few days due to heightened wildfire risk.
Starting tonight, May 1, temperatures are expected to rise, drying out fine fuels. Gusty southerly winds of up to 60 km/h are forecast for Friday ahead of a cold front, with conditions likely to persist through Saturday.
Officials say human activity remains the leading cause of wildfires in spring. Residents are asked to stay alert, check local forecasts, and hold off on any burning until conditions improve.
