A fire ban is in effect for the area.  See below for details.  Thanks for your cooperation in doing your part to prevent wildfire.  With many fires burning in the area it's important to prevent any new human caused fires from starting.  If you are using a quad in the forest area, be diligent about stopping frequently and clearing debris.  Soak it and stomp it to make sure you're not leaving any smouldering grass or muskeg behind.

We're expecting lightning this afternoon, which will most likely ignite wildfires at strike sites.  We are patrolling and monitoring.

If you see smoke or fire in the forest, please call:  310-FIRE.
