MNR Fire Crews Hoping for Wet Weather
The weather forecast for the weekend could dictate how long the Restricted FireZone will remain in place in northwestern Ontario.
The RFZ was imposed a week ago due to extremely dry conditions.
Fire Information Officer Debbie McLean says the situation could change quickly if we get much rain.
McLean says there were four new wild fires reported in the region yesterday so any rain will be welcomed by local fire rangers.
