That is quick after the snow has melted?
What starts the fires in your area?
The fires in the forest is mostly started from hot quad bike exhaust pipes. The wet "muskeg", which is like peatland sticks to the exhaust, and as it dries it starts to smoulder and fall off. That clump of muskeg can smoulder for days before it sets the forest on fire.
On the farms it is plain ignorance. Burning brush or garden refuse that gets out of hand. There is currently a fire ban in my municipality. That means no open fires, not even a braai.....but sometimes people don't give a shit and then we have a fire.
Even when the fire ban has been lifted, we have to get a burn permit if we want to burn brush or garden refuse. And my "braai" or " fire pit"needs to be approved and within the requirements of the local fire chief.
Now I may say "screw that, I will braai when I want on whatever I want". But as we saw with the Fort Mac fires 2 years ago that attitude could have far reaching consequences.
