Two More Forest Fires Yesterday

Despite fall-like weather, new forest fires continue to crop up across northwestern Ontario.

Yesterday, there were two new blazes reported.

One was a small lightning caused fire about 10 kilometers of the city.

MNR fire crews were able to quickly extinguish it.

The other fire was located near Quetico Provincial Park.

The MNR says the fire hazard is still fairly high in the southern part of this region and one fire crew has been sent into northern Minnesota to help with new fires reported there.
