When you discover a forest fire, make sure you take down the following details:
*   Location of the fire
*   An estimate of the flame height
*   What is burning
*   An estimate of the size of the fire

Remember, to report a forest fire located north of the French and Mattawa rivers, please dial 310-FIRE (3473). To report a forest fire south of these rivers, dial 911.
