As temperatures continue to climb into the upper 90's and potentially even triple digits, the chances of wildfires start to increase.
Some of the most common fire starters include fireworks, camp fires, cookouts, and cigarettes.
Richmond Hill Fire Department Operations Chief Michelle Meacham says people need to be fire aware, and that the sea breeze here has the potential to carry fires much quicker.
She says not only is the heat extremely dangerous weather for fires, but for people as well. If people have to work outside, to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks and not to stay outside for long periods of time.
She does say when it comes to fire safety, little things can make a big difference. Be mindful of combustable items, even cigarette butts.
