Fire Hazard low in NWO

Despite the wet weather six forest fires remain active in Northwestern Ontario.

The most recent fire was sparked by lightning in the Sioux Lookout area.

The 2.5-hectare fire is being observed north of Wabakimi Provincial Park.

The fire isn't threatening any property.

5 of the fires currently burning are in the Thunder Bay-Nipigon District and don't pose any problem.
