fire. The beautiful season has arrived. Fire prevention is important while dried up land is easily flammable. In the past few days, at least three fire households have been on, including one in the wood of the Marconi.
The sappers of Notre-Dame-du-Bon-Consil have already left twice today and once on Sunday, in the evening. Herbs or forest fires have been extinguished in the village and Sainte-Clotilde-de-Horton.
In Drummondville, about fifteen firefighters moved to the end of the wood of the Marconi, on the edge of Highway 55, to fight a forest fire with an area of 4,600 square meters.
They used an all-terrain vehicle to transport the hoses to the blaze that stretched out in the distance in the wood.
An appeal to vigilance is also addressed to all the citizens of the region in connection with the activities which could represent a risk of fire, particularly during periods of drought. People are invited to consult and respect the regulations of their municipality, whether for open fires, the use of fireworks, etc. The objective is to minimize risks, both in forests and in more densely populated areas, and to ensure that the workforce in place will always be sufficient to cope with fires.
