Despite some rain over the weekend, the Ministry of Natural Resources
says there were at least four new forest fires in the region.
Two of those in the Kenora District.
One was a small blaze on an island on Lake of the Woods, the other
located north of Minaki.
The MNR says no problem is anticipated with either blaze.
Overnight rain has dropped the fire hazard to low across the region, but fire
crews will continue to monitor lightning strikes from last night's storm system.
