🚨🔥DO NOT BURN!!🔥🚨

Enjoy the calm day today as tomorrow will bring wind gusts of 60km then Friday to be even windier at 70km!!

With relative humidity well below outside current temps and winds like that, fires will be uncontrollable. Hoping for some much needed rain towards end of weekend but until then, PLEASE refrain from burning. Even things that were lit a few days ago or last week please check to ensure they’re completely out with some added water 💦

🔥 🔥 **EXTREME FIRE DANGER** 🔥 🔥

With those Strong Winds tomorrow paired with RH(%) numbers into the 20's across SW Manitoba, Fire Danger will be EXTREME!!

DO NOT BURN OVER THE NEXT 48-72 HOURS... 🛑

Some relief will come by Victoria Day as cooler and wetter weather settles in. ☁️ 🌧️ ♥️

See the photos below of the phone that was located. If this is your phone or know who it belongs to please have them contact us via Facebook messenger or call the RM office @ 204-435-2114. The phone is locked so you will be asked to unlock it prior to taking it.

This past week, MFR had 2 calls for service. First one was on Jan. 20th at approximately 15:50 to reports of a structure fire SE of Miami. Roland Fire was called for mutual aid with their tanker where fortunately we didn’t need extra water.

Second call came in Jan 22nd at approximately 21:30. This time we were to return the favour for Roland Fire! Our tanker and 2 fire fighters responded to provide additional help and water. MFR’s tanker was back in service shortly after midnight.

Stay safe and stay WARM during these next few days of frigid temperatures! 🥶 Next week looks to be a little more reasonable!
