The forest fire hazard Low to Moderate throughout the East Fire Region.

Summer evenings are a great time to enjoy family and friends, and share stories around the campfire. It is also a great opportunity to teach fire safety to our future generations. If children are present, ensure they are not running or playing near the fire. Keep your fire small, have a shovel and bucket of water on hand, and never leave the fire unattended. Leading by example is a great way to teach fire safety. For more FireSmart safe campfire tips visit Ontario.ca/fireprevention http://www.ontario.ca/fireprevention
