🔥 WILDFIRE RISK REACHES EXTREME LEVELS ACROSS MUCH OF ONTARIO 🔥
A new wildfire risk map released for Friday, June 5, 2026, shows large portions of Ontario under HIGH to EXTREME wildfire danger as hot, dry conditions continue across the province.
⚠️ Areas marked as “Extreme” face conditions where wildfires can ignite easily, spread rapidly, and become difficult to control. Even a small spark from a campfire, cigarette, fireworks, ATV, or vehicle parked on dry grass could start a fast-moving fire.
Residents are urged to:
🔥 Properly extinguish campfires
🚭 Dispose of smoking materials safely
🎆 Avoid fireworks where permitted
🚗 Keep vehicles off dry grass
📢 Follow local fire bans and burn restrictions
While some rainfall is expected in parts of Ontario this weekend, officials warn that wildfire danger remains elevated and could quickly return if dry weather persists.
Stay alert and use extreme caution outdoors. One careless spark can have devastating consequences.
