The loss of control of a trash fire will have been the cause of a fire in 3.5 hectares, in Clova, in the Haute-Mauricie sector. According to the Sopfeu, firefighters are still fighting this fire this morning, The fire would have started around 4 pm on Saturday afternoon. During the evening, two tankers took part and the fire quickly obtained the status "Contained" It can do no more harm than that has been done up to now.

Don - You said one of the fires was a trash burn that got away but are most of the summer fires lightning caused or man caused? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
