More fires for the northwest


With the warmer weather comes an increased chance of forest fires.


The Ministry of Natural Resources is reminding the public to take precautions when burning outdoors.

Fire Information Officer Mitch Miller says crews responded to five new fires over past couple or
days.

The weather forecast is calling for hot dry weather for the next two weeks and MNR officials are keeping a close watch on the local conditions.
