The Northwest Fire Centre is asking anyone performing category two or three burns to use caution.
It comes as warmer weather is in the forecast across the centre, causing patches of snow free ground.
The centre added no fire bans are in effect with this time of year seeing an increased wildfire risk as vegetation starts to turn green.
Anyone who had a category two or three burn over the winter is being asked to check burn sites to ensure the fire is fully extinguished.
A category two fire is described as one or two piles under two metres in height and three metres in width.
Category three fires include three or more burn piles under two metres in height and three metres in width, or any larger fires.
The centre is also reminding a burn registration number is required before any category three fires can be lit.
