ctvnews.ca

Two wildfires are currently active in Quebec, prompting increased fire danger ratings as the province enters peak wildfire season. The Quebec forest fire protection agency, SOPFEU, reported a five-hectare fire in the Laurentians and a one-hectare fire in Abitibi, both listed as under control. The agency cited "residents" as the cause of the Laurentians fire. SOPFEU has reported 59 wildfires in 2025, fewer than the 10-year average, and is urging vigilance due to dry vegetation. Northern regions still have significant snow cover, reducing fire risk.
