Despite cool, rainy conditions over the weekend, MNR fire crews had to
battle a number of new wild fires in the region.
Most of the action has been in the far north in the Sioux Lookout and
Nipigon Districts.
One new fire is burning about five kilometers north of Muskrat Dam.
Its about 24 hectares in size and is not under control.
Fire crews were also notified about some day burning taking place
on Lake of the Woods.
While campfires are allowed during the day, brush and grass burning is
not.
The fire hazard is listed as low to moderate across much of the region,
but high in the far north.
