Our teams are on-site to monitor any flare-ups and conduct mop-up operations,\u201d read the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carelse reminded residents to take precautions ahead of the warmer months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is a timely reminder to the public of how easily wildfires can start, and as we head into the warmer months we appeal to everyone to do their bit for fire safety, whether vegetation or structural.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carelse said a summary of fire-prevention and safety tips is available on the City\u2019s website: <a
