The Kahnawake Fire Brigade says the fire risk is very high because of the hot and dry conditions in Quebec. This risk applies in Tiioweroton as well. Whishe Stacey is a Captain with the KFB who is asking Kahnawakero:non to be vigilant. Quebec’s forest fire prevention agency, SOPFEU, is warning people to be careful and to avoid lighting outdoor fires.
Since mid-April, SOPFEU recorded 152 fires in Quebec, affecting 142.5 hectares of forest.
