EAST FIRE REGION SITUATION UPDATE

MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES

*************************** No new fires in the region yesterday.

Eighty-four fires to date in the East Fire Region since April 1.

There is one active fire in the region.

Cochrane 6 is being held at one hectare in size; there are no problems anticipated.

The forest fire hazard is moderate to high across most of the East Fire Region but will decrease as rain or showers from the west move eastward through the region.

Always use caution with all outdoor fires and follow safe burning guidelines.

Remember to choose a safe site, keep your fire small and never leave it unattended.

Ensure the fire is put dead out before leaving the site.

If you live in a municipality, check local bylaws for any burning restrictions that may apply.
