Long Weekend Fires

Its been a while since there have been any forest fires in the Kenora District,but there were three small blazes reported over the Labor Day Long Weekend.

All three were located on Lake of the Woods, and two are being allowed to continue to burn.

The other was extinguished by volunteer fire fighters in the Town of Sioux Narrows.

Under the Lake of the Woods Fire Response Plan, any fires that don't pose a hazard to property, will be monitored and allowed to burn for ecological reasons.
