Harvest Season is underway in the Northwest, as farmers work to get the grain into the bin.

However, hazards lurk, with the equipment, as they are running constantly to get the work done in due time.

Hazards very similar to that of quads with dirt and debris building up, can be a fire hazard, thus causing equipment, stock, and yield to go up in flames for the season.

Authorities are reminding farmers to be extra vigilant in caring for and maintaining the equipment, thus equaling a bountiful Harvest season.

The Area Information Coordinator for the Peace River Forest Area, with Alberta Wildfire, is Tannis McNabb.
