There is also a warning board at the station that tells you what the conditions are in our area. Please advise anyone visiting or using your home of this information. A factor that has an effect on the fire danger is the temperature, as it gets warmer the fire danger will increase. The amount of rainfall also has an effect. We all need to keep a watchful eye on these factors and monitor the fire danger signs.
Humans start most wildfires.
Fire prevention is everyone's responsibility. The purpose of this department is to provide fire protection, fire prevention and emergency medical treatment to the residents and visitors of the Forest Lakes area. This is accomplished largely through volunteers like you who are on call when needed. Our unique remote area in the forest makes it imperative for us to take care of our neighbors and ourselves. Please contact the Fire Department if you want to help.
