Its going to cost a Fort Frances man a lot more to burn brush than expected.
The Ministry of Natural Resources has fined Bradley Bodnarchuck 150 dollars and ordered him to pay 45 hundred dollars for the cost of fighting his fire, which got out of control.
Bodnarchuck had been burning wood waste at his cabin on Rainy Lake this past July.
He tried to extinguish it and thought it was out, but the next day it spread into the bush.
An MNR fire ranger crew had to be called into put it out.
He pled guilty to failing to properly extinguish a fire.
