Rain Reduces Fire Hazard in the Region

Recent rain has helped put a damper on the forest fire situation in northwestern Ontario.

The MNR says it saw a couple of small, new forest fires over the weekend in the Kenora District.

Both were less than a hectare in size and the Fire Rangers crews don't expect any problem with those blazes.

This week's rain has reduced the number of active fires in the region to
just nine including three in the Kenora District.
