Hot Weather – Fire Risks

June 30, 2021 by in Advisories

The Wakaw/Hoodoo Fire Department would like to encourage all residents to take caution around fires and flammable material during this extreme heat. The RM of Hoodoo No. 401, as of June 30, 2021, is in the “HIGH” Fire Weather Index with the likely possibility of moving into “EXTREME” in the coming days (see the link below).

Please take all precautionary measures necessary, such as having water nearby to extinguish your fire pit completely at the end of use, and to put out any sparks/ashes/coals that may stray from the fire pit.

See the link below to look at the Daily Fire Danger Map and tips to help you stay prepared during dry conditions.
