Few Forest Fires Despite Hot Weather

Despite unseasonably warm weather, still not a lot of forest fire activity in
the region.

Just one new fire reported in the Kenora District yesterday.

That follows five new wild fires that were reported the day before in the
region.

Fire information officer Debbie McLean says due to the warm weather they will be keeping their seasonal staff a little longer.

There are currently 26 active fires in the northwest region, a number of
which are being monitored.
