Dry Hot Weather Keeps Fire Department Busy
On June 4 at 10:59 AM, the Richer Fire Department responded to a report of a lawn mower on fire at a property along Highway 1, just west of Richer.
Firefighters arrived on scene and quickly brought the fire under control, preventing it from spreading to nearby vegetation and surrounding areas.
As temperatures rise and outdoor work increases, please remember to regularly inspect and maintain lawn mowers and other equipment. Remove dry grass buildup, check fuel lines for leaks, and keep a fire extinguisher readily available when operating machinery.
Thank you to all responding
members for their quick action and dedication to keeping our community safe.
With the longterm forecast of a dry and hot summer,
please follow the RM of Ste. Anne Facebook page or the Richer Fire Department Facebookl page to be kept up-to-date on the fire restriction levels before lighting up!
