Forest Fires still burning near end of Official Fire Season

The forest fire season officially comes to an end on Monday, but there will likely be fires still burning across the Northwest.

Eight lightning caused fires are still active inside Quetico Provincial Park.

Jennifer Young of the Ministry of Natural Resources says the fires are being monitored and none are posing any threat.

Young says a fire management plan for the park allows fires to burn in certain areas to help regenerate the forest.
