MEDICINE HAT, AB – Dumpster and encampment fires have become an bigger concern for Medicine Hat Fire and Emergency Services during the past year.
Carter Gramlich, a fire prevention officer with the service, said there are ways the public can help reduce these fires from happening.
“People should be mindful of you know, the accumulation of items around their property that could be combustibles or could be used if somebody was looking to set a fire,” said Gramlich.
“Just be mindful of, you know, what’s laying around your property and dispose of debris that doesn’t need to be there.”
