The Ministry of Natural Resources forecasts high to extreme danger levels for forest fires for most of Renfrew County
Fire bans are in place across Renfrew County as the Ministry of Natural Resources watches hot and dry forecasts in the area.
Multiple local municipalities have put fire bans in place ahead of the weekend as the ministry forecast high-to-extreme forest fire danger ratings for the Ottawa Valley and beyond.
County officials are now urging residents to stay safe and informed about the bans and to take precautions to prevent wildfires.
Be sure to check in with your municipality’s website and social media for updates, or contact them or the Ministry of Natural Resources directly for details.
