Fire Hazard on the rise


Things are starting to heat up in the bush.


The Ministry of Natural Resources says they are dealing with active fires in the region.

Fire Information Officer Debbie McLean says the hazard in the region is definitely on the rise.

While there isn't a restricted fire zone in place, the MNR is encouraging local residents to postpone any outdoor burning over the long weekend.
