Fire Season Arrives Early in NWO

The official fire season doesn't start until April 1st, but the the Kenora District has already reported its first blaze of 2012.

It was a small 0.1 hectare grass fire near Ingolf.

Due to the dry conditions, fire information officer Debbie McLean says they will be putting on extra crews before the end of the month.

While daytime burning is allowed until April 1st, McLean is advising local residents to use common sense before doing any burning.
