City crews have been called to battle another batch of grass and brush fires in Winnipeg. Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to five such fires on Tuesday, as the city continued to grapple with dry conditions. The City of Winnipeg reminds residents that open fires are prohibited until further notice due to the conditions. The strong winds forecast today will increase the risk of wildland fires, as wind can carry embers to different locations. Thus far, city firefighters have responded to 55 grass/brush fires this year.
