PAT had a forest fire
There was a forest fire in Pointe-aux-Trembles on Tuesday evening. The cause is unknown. I’ve been seeing items suggesting this could be a bad summer for forest fires, since we don’t have enough crises already.

I make it a habit to check SOPFEU, and this is the first time in many years it’s showing Quebec has had more fires than the average.
But each of this fires has been tiny. At 77 hectares burned so far this year, we’re still below the 10-year-average.

It’s been a particularly dry spring and today was actually the driest day ever recorded in Montreal, with 16% humidity. (H/T @YUL_Weather on Twitter for the heads up.)
