A few provinces have enacted fire restrictions, not so much because of the conditions, but because of COVID-19.
Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia have restrictions, but they vary and are not a complete provincial ban.
In Saskatchewan, there is no ban across the province but individual Rural Municipalities have brought in fire bans.
Forest ecology researcher with Natural Resources Canada, Yan Boulanger, explains that the bans are to mitigate the risk to firefighters, because if one person on a team gets the virus they will all have to be quarantined, so there may be fewer firefighters dealing with the wildfires.
Conditions are ripe for wildfires in particular from Manitoba to British Columbia.
Boulanger says the forecast for June through August is hotter than average, leading to an increased risk.
Since 1990 wildfires across Canada have consumed an average of 2.5-million hectares a year.
