Fire bans are set to be partially lifted in some of Quebec’s forest areas.
The Ministry of Public Security announced Wednesday that some recent open fire bans will be lifted starting at 5 p.m. on Oct. 8.
The lifting of the ban in some areas is reportedly due to rain that forest areas have recently received.
Despite this, an open fire is still in place for the following areas:
- LANAUDIÈRE : L’Assomption (60), Montcalm (63), Les Moulins (64).
- LAURENTIDES : Deux-Montagnes (72), Thérèse-De Blainville (73), Mirabel (74), La Rivière-du-Nord (75), Argenteuil (76), Les Pays-d’en-Haut (77), Les Laurentides (78), Antoine-Labelle (79).
- MONTÉRÉGIE : Vaudreuil-Soulanges (71).
- OUTAOUAIS : Papineau (80), Gatineau (81), Les Collines-de-l’Outaouais (82), La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau (83), Pontiac (84).
There are currently 19 wildfires burning in Quebec.
Officials say that anyone who disobeys the fire ban could face fines.
