Just in time for the weekend, the Ministry of Natural Resources has lifted the Restricted Fire Zone in northwestern Ontario.
The RFZ was put in place last Friday, but was lifted as of noon today due to the wet conditions the region is currently experiencing.
The forecast calls for more rain and cool conditions over the next couple of days and that's expected to reduce the fire hazard right across the northwest.
The MNR says campfires will be allowed for cooking and warmth now that the RFZ has been lifted.
