Dry conditions cause for fire concern

The Prince George Fire Department is asking you to be fire aware this time of year.

With the snow gone and things not quite greened up yet, fires can be a hazard.

Chief Fire Prevention Officer Marcel Profeit says you need to be aware of what you are doing in your surroundings.

“A lot of times people will try to prepare their lawns by burning them off,” says Profeit, “we really shouldn’t be doing that for a couple of reasons, one there is a clean air bylaw in the city and you’re not allowed to burn yard waste and that kind of stuff.”

Profeit says the recent winds can also cause fires to spread easily if you burn off your lawn.

He says also be cautious with cigarette butts since the grass is so dry.
