The number of forest fires around the Province are way down this year and that might come as a surprise to many with the all the hot, humid weather.
So far, there have been 120 fires which have burned 110 hectares.
Jeff Betts is the Provincial Fire Center Operations Officer and tells CHSJ News, it doesn't seem like it, but the rain is spaced out enough that the woods are not tinder dry and campers are being very cautious to extinguish any fires before leaving their site.
Betts says last year, 230 hectares of forest was lost around the Province which is also low with the ten year average being close to 400.
