Kenora Man charged with starting Forest Fire


A Kenora man has been ordered to pay the 24-hundred dollar cost of putting out a fire he started.


Court heard that back in April the man removed burned debris from a camp and dumped it into Dogtooth Lake.

However, some of the hot ash landed along the shore and a fire quickly spread due to dry conditions.

The Longbow Lake Fire Department and Ministry of Natural Resources ground and air team were forced to extinguish the blaze.

William Renner was fined an additional 250-dollars.
