Fires continue consume Northern Forests

The Ministry of Natural Resources continues to try and gain the upper hand on over 100-forest fires burning in Northwestern Ontario.

Information Officer Owen Vaughan says they have recieved a lot of help in their fight.

B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland, Quebec and the Yukon are all helping firefighters in Northwestern Ontario.

Vaughan adds that several MNR employees who don't usually fight fires are also involved and he asks the public for patience as there may be some delays in other services.
