Fire Hazard on the Rise

Kenora continues to be one of the busier districts in terms of forest fires.

So far this week, there have been four new wild fires.

The MNR says only one was caused by humans, there rest were the result of old lightning strikes.

All four fires were relatively small and have been contained by fire crews.

The fire hazard has risen to high to extreme across much of the region.
