Fire Crews Battle Cabin Fire on Lake of the Woods

All the rain this weekend has helped keep the fire hazard low across

northwestern Ontario, but MNR Fire Crews were called out to help

battle a cabin fire on Lake of the Woods.

The fire broke out Saturday afternoon and gutted a cottage in the

Palisade Island area.

A helicopter with a bucket provided support to fire crews on the ground to try and prevent the flames from spreading into the nearby bush.

The OPP say foul play is not suspected in the fire.
