The Office of the Fire Commissioner (OFC) is reminding Manitobans to be vigilant as overall conditions remain extremely dry and communities across the province have experienced several human-caused wildfires this season.

As spring arrives, the Manitoba Wildfire Service advises widespread dry conditions may lead to a higher wildfire danger across the province and a risk of grass and brush fires in open areas as snow melts.
