Wildfire Season in Manitoba – Be Prepared

As the weather warms up, so does the risk of wildfires across Manitoba. Each year, wildfires can threaten communities, disrupt travel, and impact air quality. Whether you live in a high-risk area or are just passing through, preparation is essential.

Now is the time to plan ahead. Make sure you and your family know what to do if a wildfire approaches, what to pack if you need to leave quickly, and how to prepare your home to reduce fire risk. Always include prescription medications, medical equipment, and any personal health needs in your go-bag. Staying informed through reliable sources and being evacuation-ready helps ensure your safety and peace of mind.
