Montreal firefighters had their fingers full Sunday preventing two brush fires, one thing the hearth division (SIM) says is unusual this time of 12 months.
No properties have been threatened by the blaze and no accidents have been reported.
Round 11:20 a.m., flames erupted in Riviere-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles close to the Membership de Golf de l'Ile. The mixed efforts of about 85 firefighters put out the hearth inside a couple of hours.
A number of hours later, round 4:45 p.m., a second fireplace broke out in Pierrefonds close to Laurent-Coderre St.
Patrick Fournel, a spokesperson for the SIM, stated whereas the reason for the fires is unknown, they have been helped alongside by dry grass and lack of humidity.
He cautioned these having fun with the great climate with a barbeque to take additional care.
Quebec's fireplace safety company, SOPFEU, has issued a ban on open-air fires for a lot of southern Quebec.
Montreal is experiencing an particularly heat and dry Could, with temperatures reaching as excessive as 31 C later this week.
Final week, one other main brush fireplace broke out close to a big industrial park within the city of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.
