City Ready to Pay MNR Fire Bill

The City of Kenora is expected to cut a cheque for 32 thousand dollars this week to
the Ministry of Natural Resources for battling a wild fire back in September.

Fire chief Warren Brinkman says they met recently with the MNR to talk about
mutual fire aid.

He the Valleyview fire last year did raise some concerns about the local tele-communication system.

Initially the city had balked at paying the fire fighting bill from the MNR, but after much discussion
they decided to move on.
