Fire Hazard on the Rise in NWO

MNR Fire crews will be on stand-by this July long weekend.

The fire hazard is starting to increase and there are 11 active wildfires in the Northwestern region.

Ministry of Natural Resources Information Officer Deb McLean says right now there are no plans to impose a fire ban.

The only fire in the Kenora District was reported late yesterday in the Lodgepine Lake area in Ingolf.

The MNR dispatch a fire ranger crew and a water bomber to try and bring it under control.
