Fire Crews Continue to Battle Falcon Island Fire


The cool, damp weather over the past few days has allowed Ministry of Natural Resources fire crews to get the upper hand on a blaze burning on an Island on Lake of the Woods.

Kenora Fire #36 has been active for the past two weeks, but fire information officer, Debbie MacLean says they are making good progress on it now.

Crews are now working to put out any hot spots on Falcon Island and making sure the fire doesn't spread any further.

That's the only forest fire currently active in northwestern Ontario.
