NWO Forest Fire Update


It appears folks are paying little attention to the fire ban that is currently in place across Northwestern Ontario.

The Ministry of Natural Resources responded to 3-new human caused fires in the Sioux Lookout District yesterday.

There are currently 14-fires burning in the Region, 11 of which were human caused.

A raging forest fire east of Terrace Bay has been controlled.

The MNR says there were some value losses reported but no details are available.

The cause is under investigation.
