Every day and for each region, starting in the Spring, the Société de protection des forêts contre le feu (SOPFEU) issues a fire danger rating.

Fireplace with a spark arrester
Outdoor fires contained in an outdoor fireplace fitted with a screen cover and resting on a stone base is authorized at all times without permit. It is the responsibility of the person lighting the fire that the smoke does not bother the neighbors.
