Provincial status report
Latest news
In the coming days, weather conditions across Quebec will allow SOPFEU to maintain the required preparedness level at 1, on a scale from 1 to 5.
Relative humidity will generally remain high throughout the province this week. By Wednesday, unstable weather will bring showers and thunderstorms, alternating with periods of fair weather across the territory. Conditions are expected to clear starting Wednesday.
On Monday, the fire danger rating is High, and even Very High in some areas of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Outaouais, Laurentides, Lanaudière, and Montérégie. However, starting Tuesday, the rating will generally range from Low to Moderate throughout Quebec.
At this time of year, vegetation has reached full maturity across the province, relative humidity is typically higher, days are getting shorter, and nights are cooler. Morning dew is also more frequent. Although the wildfire risk remains present until mid-November, the most intense period of the protection season is now behind us.
SOPFEU nonetheless reminds the public that the vacation period leads many people into the forest, increasing the risk of wildfires. July is also a time when thunderstorms and lightning are frequent and can ignite fires.
Support to Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Manitoba
The stable situation in Quebec allows SOPFEU to support other Canadian provinces currently facing heightened wildfire activity. There are currently 566 active wildfires in Canada. As of today, 3,515 wildfires have occurred across the country since the beginning of spring, burning a total of 6.1 million hectares of forest.
Ontario: Deployment of a twin-engine Navajo PA-31 aircraft equipped with the VeriMap infrared detection system, along with its crew.
Saskatchewan: Deployment of two airtankers and their crews. SOPFEU has also mobilized 40 wildland firefighters, two radio operators, and two representatives from the organization to support ground operations.
Manitoba: Deployment of 60 wildland firefighters and two SOPFEU representatives to assist with operations on the ground.
SOPFEU remains fully engaged in protecting Quebec’s communities, strategic infrastructure, and forests, while showing solidarity with its partners across Canada.
Since the beginning of 2025, Quebec has provided assistance to California, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon, Ontario, and Newfoundland and Labrador by sending wildland firefighters, incident management teams, aircraft, or equipment.
