'While in the short term, we are planning for early spring fires, each fire season is highly variable and is based on actual weather trends that develop throughout the fire season'
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is hoping that the summer of 2024 is different from what occurred in Ontario in 2023.
"The lack of overwinter precipitation, and warmer than normal temperatures has led to a lower snow load than normal in many parts of the province. This has contributed to the earlier than normal snow melt in many areas, creating the potential for early spring fires." The MNRF is hoping for a wet spring to help offset the lack of snow.
"As a precaution, MNRF is planning for early spring fires by proactively bringing on some Fire Rangers and support staff earlier to address any potential needs arising from spring hazards," MNRF officials noted.
